Norway welcomes US Marines amid Russian tensions
Quote:
The move, which was sought by the Americans and announced Monday by
Norway, comes as tensions between the US and Russia are increasing amid
the humanitarian disaster in Syria and US assertions of Moscow's
involvement in cyber hacks on American political organizations and
individuals.
Beginning in January, a limited rotational force of approximately 330
Marines will be located in Vaernes, Norway, according to a statement
from the Norwegian Defense Ministry.
"The US initiative to augment their training and exercises in Norway by
locating a Marine Corps Rotational Force in Norway is highly welcome and
will have positive implications for our already strong bilateral
relationship," Norwegian Defense Minister Ine Eriksen Søreide said in a
statement.
