Did Trump successfully invite Norwegians to immigrate to the United States?

When US President Trump "derogated" Haiti and African countries at a White House meeting a few days ago, he especially praised the Nordic country Norway, saying that "the United States should accept more immigrants from countries like Norway", which triggered a diplomatic storm. Local time 12, many Norwegians decisively rejected Trump's invitation.

When US Senator 1 1 introduced the newly drafted immigration bill to Trump, Trump declared, "Why should we accept people from these countries in Africa? These are inferior countries ... we should absorb more people from Norway. "

According to White House officials, in addition to welcoming Norwegian immigrants, Trump also expressed his hope to receive more Asian immigrants. He believes that Asian immigrants can help the United States economically.

Thorbjoern Sarteur, a Conservative official of a local government near Oslo, Norway, rejected Trump's invitation on 12. He said, "I want to say thank you to Norway, but no, thank you!"

Other Norwegians condemned Trump's inappropriate words and racial discrimination. A woman wrote: "We won't come, thanks to Norway."

Christian Christensen, a professor of American journalism at Stockholm University in Sweden, wrote on Twitter: "Of course, Norwegians love to go to a country with a much higher probability of being shot. They live in poverty. They have no medical insurance because of poverty. They have no paid parental leave or parental subsidies. # The next three countries. "

It is understood that the Nordic country Norway is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of per capita GDP. Last year, it was listed as the happiest country in the world. It is also a well-known welfare state, which takes care of people from birth to death, and part of its funds come from abundant oil and natural gas.

Although hundreds of thousands of Norwegians immigrated to the United States in the19th century, according to statistics, only 502 of Norway's 5.3 million people immigrated to the United States in 20 16, 59 fewer than in 20 15.

Some analysts believe that Trump mentioned Norway at the White House meeting on June 5438+0 1 day because he just met with visiting Norwegian Prime Minister solberg on June 5438+00, and the two sides seemed to have a good talk. Trump even announced at the press conference after the meeting that the United States could consider "rejoining" the Paris Agreement that it withdrew from last summer.

The website of Timely magazine 1 1 sarcastically said, "Trump turned green after talking to the Norwegian Prime Minister for 75 minutes." American media analysis said that Trump's attitude towards Norway has changed a lot. First of all, solberg praised the American-made Tesla new energy vehicle as "very popular in Norway". Second, Norway will buy 40 F-35 fighter jets worth $654.38 billion, which enables Trump to boast that the United States has a "trade surplus" with Norway.

Therefore, Trump's invitation to the Norwegian to immigrate to the United States was decisively rejected: you're welcome.
