In a shocking move, Norway's Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum announced his resignation along with his eurosceptic Centre Party from the government. The decision comes after a disagreement with coalition partner Labour over adopting European Union energy policies, highlighting the country's ongoing debate about EU integration. This development is expected to have significant implications for Norway's economic and energy sectors, with potential effects on EU relations and global market trends. Key policy areas such as renewable energy and sustainable development are likely to be impacted.
