US Aircraft Carrier Joins NATO Exercises in Norway Despite Russian Criticism.

The USS Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier, has sailed into Oslo for the first time, in a show of NATO force amid heightened tension between NATO and Russia over the war in Ukraine. The ship and its crew will conduct training exercises with the Norwegian armed forces along the country's coast in the coming days. The Russian embassy in Oslo condemned the aircraft carrier's visit, stating that there are no questions in the Arctic that require a military solution. NATO member Norway shares a border with Russia in the Arctic.
