Haltbakk Bunkers, a Norwegian fuel giant, refuses to fuel US military vessels until US President Donald Trump is finished.
This announcement followed an earthquake of an Oval Office meeting during which Trump and VP JD Vance aligned the US with Russia’s talking points about Ukraine and treated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy so poorly it became an international incident.
"We have today been witnesses to the biggest shitshow ever presented "live on tv" by the current American president and his vice president. Huge credit to the president of Ukraine restraining himself and for keeping calm even though USA f put on a backstabbing tv show. It made us sick. Short and sweet. As a result, we have decided to immediate STOP as fuel provider to American forces in Norway and their ships calling Norwegian ports. No Fuel to Americans!” They wrote on Facebook, according to News Ukraine. “We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example. SLAVA UKRAINA," the Norwegian oil supplier’s post read, deliberately written in English and directed at the Trump and JD Vance, News Ukraine explained.
Furthermore, “According to the owner of Haltbakk Bunkers, Gunnar Gran, not a single liter will be delivered until (US President Donald) Trump is finished.”
While the Facebook post is not available anymore (probably because the government of Norway has come out to say this is not their policy!), the owner of the company, Gunnar Gran, “told Norwegian maritime news site Kystens Næringsliv that 'not a litre of fuel' will be delivered 'until Trump is finished',” according to Express UK.
"As you probably understand, not a liter will be delivered until Trump is finished, the owner tells Kystens Næringsliv. We run a private limited company and choose our customers!"
Norway officials came out with a statement that this refusal to fuel is not the official government policy, "We have seen reports raising concerns about support for U.S. Navy vessels in Norway. This is not in line with the Norwegian government's policy. American forces will continue to receive the supply and support they require from Norway," he added.
However, the “symbolic” impulse of the private company should serve as a warning for the Trump administration of where his childish tantrums could take the country he’s supposed to be leading and the people he’s supposed to be protecting.
It’s almost as if Trump is trying to weaken our military and our superpower status.
