Stoltenberg Defends Norway’s $1.8 Trillion Post-Oil Outlook as Security Risks Darken Europe
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 5
Summary
Oslo hosted Bloomberg’s first European Newsmakers event, where Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg said he is not worried about Norway’s economy after oil despite a more pessimistic view of global security.
Stoltenberg, who left the NATO secretary-general post in 2024, focused on the military alliance, European security and Norway’s unusually strong economic position.
Donald Trump surfaced in the discussion when Stoltenberg laughed off a question about whether the US president deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
Regular White House contact remains part of Stoltenberg’s role, though he said those exchanges do not include direct contact with Trump.
