Norwegian Fuel Company Halts U.S. Navy Supplies After Trump-Zelensky Oval Office Clash

Haltbakk Bunkers' decision highlights growing international criticism of President Trump's handling of U.S.-Ukraine relations and the Russia-Ukraine war.

Norwegian marine fuel supplier Haltbakk Bunkers announced it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy ships in response to President Trump's contentious Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky.
The company criticized the meeting, calling it a 'backstabbing TV show,' and stated it would not resume services until Trump leaves office.
Norway's defense minister assured that U.S. forces would continue to receive necessary supplies, emphasizing strong U.S.-Norway defense cooperation.
The clash between Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Zelensky drew international condemnation, with European leaders expressing support for Ukraine and criticizing Trump's approach.
Zelensky departed the meeting without finalizing a key rare earth mineral agreement, further straining U.S.-Ukraine relations.
