Norwegian Firm Halts US Military Fuel Supply Over Trump’s Treatment of Zelensky

Norwegian Firm Halts US Military Fuel Supply: Norwegian fuel company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced an immediate halt of supply to US military forces and naval vessels docking in Norwegian ports, citing dissatisfaction with recent American policy towards Ukraine.

The move follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's recent visit to the White House, where he had a hostile conversation with US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

In a statement shared on Facebook, the company condemned the televised exchange between the leaders, calling it the "biggest s***show ever presented live on TV.” Haltbakk Bunkers praised Zelenskyy for his restraint during the discussion, accusing the US of staging a “backstabbing TV show.”

"As a result, we have decided to immediately STOP as fuel provider to American forces in Norway and their ships calling Norwegian ports," they declared.

The post has since been deleted reportedly following heavy traffic on the company's page.

When the meeting began, Zelensky voiced concerns over Ukraine's war effort and the uncertainty surrounding US military aid. His petition for a more aggressive US engagement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict triggered an extraordinary confrontation.

Trump and Vice President JD Vance accused him of lacking gratitude. What followed was an unprecedented public spat, unfolding in front of journalists and ending with Zelensky leaving the White House abruptly, without securing a minerals-sharing deal that had been widely expected to be signed.

Trump had repeatedly suggested that Ukraine should negotiate a peace deal with Moscow, a position that had alarmed both Zelensky and his European allies. When the Ukrainian leader arrived at the White House, Trump greeted him with a pointed remark about his usual military-style attire. "Oh look, you're all dressed up," Trump quipped.

Despite the contentious exchange, Zelenskyy later expressed gratitude towards the US, thanking both the American people and leadership for their support. “Our relationship with the American President is more than just two leaders: It’s a historic and solid bond between our peoples... American people helped save our people,” he posted on social media.
