In political and economic news, a labor union is taking action against the government, with members reportedly furious. Meanwhile, a commentary suggests that the trade war surrounding electric cars could place Norway in a difficult position between China and the European Union. Norwegian energy company Okea also announced a dividend after a significant profit improvement, leading to a stock surge.
