Trump cold-called Norwegian minister
to ask about Nobel Peace Prize
Aug 14
U.S. President Donald Trump
called Norway’s Finance Minister
Jens Stoltenberg out of the blue
last month to discuss trade tariffs —
as well as his bid to win the Nobel
Peace Prize.
The call was first reported by
Norwegian newspaper Dagens
Næringsliv on Thursday and was later
confirmed to POLITICO by a government
official in Oslo. This was not the
first time Trump had raised the
prize in discussions with Stoltenberg,
Dagens Næringsliv noted.
“It is true that President Trump
called me a few days before his
conversation with Prime Minister
Støre. Several of the president’s
staff members also participated in
the conversation, including Treasury
Secretary Bessent and Trade
Representative Greer,” Stoltenberg,
the former NATO secretary-general,
told POLITICO in a comment. >https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-called-norway-finance-ministe >r-ask-about-nobel-peace-prize/
