Norway Votes In Election Influenced By Wars And Tariff Threats

Neither right nor left parties are united in their push for power AFP Norway votes on Monday in a closely fought election in which geopolitical issues including US President Donald Trump's tariff threats and the war in Ukraine could give a boost to the government. Veteran Labour Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store has a slight lead in opinion polls and observers said global uncertainty could push voters to back the perceived stability of a sitting government. Much of the campaigning, however, has focused on domestic issues like the cost of living, healthcare, inequality, education and the possibility of abolishing the wealth tax, which has divided the two camps.
