Hey, I appreciate your love for Norway and your kind words about Oslo and Dombås. We've indeed been true and faithful allies. I have seen the inside of a U.S. field hospital, and is eternallly greatful for the treatment they gave me. 

But let's get one thing straight: this isn't about taking things personally. It's about addressing the broader implications of policies and actions.

It's worth noting that the new US administration has criticized Norway for its handling of hate crimes, which is an interference in Norwegian politics. 

For instance, Vice President JD Vance criticized Europe, including Norway, for not embracing far right-wing political parties So the impact of US policies extends beyond your borders. 

When tariffs are imposed, they affect global trade and economies, including ours. Which has a very small and open economy. 

It's not about lecturing America; it's about having a dialogue on how these decisions impact everyone.

You mentioned not comparing taxes, healthcare, education, or military, and that's fair. But let's not pretend that these issues don't intersect. We all have a stake in global stability and fairness.

As for tariffs, it's not just about 'fairness.' It's about understanding the ripple effects on allies and partners. Norway's investments in America are based on mutual benefit, and we value that relationship.

But it's crucial to recognize that actions have consequences, and we need to work together to negate these challenges.

So, let's keep the conversation going, but with a focus on collaboration and mutual respect.
