✂️Big Scissors for a big impact! Ambassador Anniken Huitfeld cut the ribbon for the Norwegian-American Defense Industry Council’s new HQ. The defense industry supports U.S. national security–and American jobs–through production facilities across the country.
Let's give a warm welcome to our wonderful new interns: Alba and Tora! Alba is from Oslo and holds a BA from King’s College London. Tora is from Bergen and recently completed her master’s degree at the London School of Economics. We are so excited to have them with us!
Big news! His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon will soon visit New York, Iowa, and Minnesota. On October 9, in New York City, he will welcome a replica of the Restauration – the ship that launched organized emigration 200 years ago.

Happy Independence Day to our American friends! 🎆
Our Embassy was glad to take part in the U.S. premiere of "Facing War" – a documentary capturing a critical year of Jens Stoltenberg’s term as NATO Secretary General.
The screening, part of @dcdoxfest.bsky.social, opened with remarks from director Tommy Gulliksen and Ambassador Anniken Huitfeldt.
Horrified and saddened by what appears to be a politically motivated assassination of State Rep. Hortman and her husband and the attack on State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife today. Our thoughts are with their loved ones.
Happy Pride! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 We had a fabulous time marching in the @capitalpridedc.bsky.social parade with our Nordic neighbors this weekend. A beautiful day to celebrate love!

On Friday, Ambassador Anniken Huitfeldt attended the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) Friday Evening Parade at the Marine Corps Barracks as a guest of honor. The host was Lieutenant General Bradford J. Gering, Deputy Commandant for Aviation. Our thanks for a wonderful event!
