Norwegian Fuel Supplier Boycotts US Navy Over Trump-Zelensky Dispute
Haltbakk Bunkers, a Norwegian fuel supplier, announced a boycott of fuel deliveries to the U.S. Navy until President Trump leaves office, citing outrage over the Trump administration’s public dispute with Ukrainian President Zelensky. The company, which supplied 3,000,000 liters of fuel to the U.S. Navy in 2024, stated its support for Ukraine and its many Ukrainian employees as motivation for the boycott. Despite the Haltbakk Bunkers’ action, Norway’s Defense Ministry reaffirmed its strong defense cooperation with the U.S. and assured continued support for American forces.
