30 August 2023 at 13:10 Huitfeldt’s husband bought arms shares Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt (Ap) tells VG that she has not fulfilled her duty as a minister: Her husband has traded shares on Oslo Børs – among other things in the arms manufacturer Kongsberg Gruppen – while she has been foreign minister. – I have not fulfilled my duty according to the rules of competence to obtain an overview of my husband’s financial activities. There is reason to believe that I have been incompetent in several of the cases, says Huitfeldt to VG. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre says he has confidence in Huitfeldt as minister. – Anniken has apologized for the mistake she made. Based on the information that has come to light, I have confidence in Anniken as minister, he writes to NTB. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that Huitfeldt will provide information on the matter at a press conference at 2 p.m. During the summer, two ministers have resigned and one has remained in office, following questions of integrity.
