The Press was allowed in to the Roosevelt room as the bilateral meeting started.
Newsworthy: Trump said he has "his own deadline" for when he needs Ukraine and Russia to agree to a US proposal before pulling the US out.
"I have my own deadline, and we want it to be fast."
Jonas Gahr St�re answered two questions.
On tariffs and whether the US considers Norway a potential ally:
"That is a very strange question actually, because the US is our lead ally, and we build on the relationship, which we will talk about now, Mr. President, it's of high relevance. And I'm very happy that we have the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense here, so this is a stron tie."
On whether the Prime Minister St�re thinks President Trump deservers a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in Ukraine and elsewhere:
"I salute President Trump for having been taking very important initiatives to get this conflict towards and end, which both parties deserve. We need to have a ceasefire to save lives and move towards something which is more secure for Europe and the people concerned. On that we are working together. And I look forward to going into some details, because we are at a critical moment. On that prize, you know, that is a committee taking care of that which is completely working on its own terms. And I don't have any opinion on that.
