Norwegian ambassador resigns as she faces scrutiny over contacts with Epstein

Mona Juul, Norway's ambassador to Jordan, has resigned following scrutiny over her connections with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Her resignation was announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on February 8, shortly after she was suspended from her diplomatic role. Juul's ties to Epstein, a figure infamous for his involvement in sex trafficking and exploitation, have raised significant concerns, prompting an internal investigation into her actions and relationships. This incident adds to the ongoing discussions around accountability and ethical conduct within diplomatic circles. The Norwegian government is now focusing on addressing the implications of her resignation and restoring public trust in its diplomatic appointments.
