On Wednesday, the Norwegian Prime Minister traveled to Paris to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron, where the parties are expected to sign a new defense agreement. The document provides for Norway's accession to a French-led nuclear security project.
"We are doing this in view of the security situation in Europe,"
At the same time, he emphasized that nuclear weapons will not be stationed on Norwegian territory during peacetime. As Reuters notes, Oslo's decision is significant, as the country has traditionally considered close cooperation with the United States to be the foundation of its security.
