Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Stoere and Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg will meet U.S. President Trump at the White House on Thursday for talks on NATO, Ukraine, and bilateral trade relations.

The conversations take place in the midst of ongoing trade adjustments, including a recent tariff reduction by the United States from 15% to 10% on specified Norwegian imports for a 90-day period. According to Reuters, Stoere stressed the importance of collaboration between the United States and Norway, referring to America as a "key trade and security partner."

The presidents are expected to discuss ways to enhance economic connections while also addressing shared geopolitical challenges, notably in Europe's security picture.

Norway, although not being a member of the EU, has supported Western sanctions against Russia and increased defense spending in response to the Ukraine crisis, Reuters reported.
