Norway champions the liberal international order

President Roosevelt once told the world to look to Norway,” Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg noted in a January 10 speech at Brookings, as part of the Alan and Jane Batkin International Leaders Forum. “Maybe it is only we who remember it,” she added. In her remarks and in a conversation with Vice President and Director of the Foreign Policy program Bruce Jones, Solberg gave a full-throated defense of the liberal international order, its accomplishments, and its principles, and called for continued U.S. leadership.
