NATO member Norway will continue to supply fuel for U.S. Navy ships, the country's defence minister said on Sunday, after a call from a private marine fuel supplier to stop doing so in response to the apparent breakdown in U.S.-Ukrainian relations.
"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," Norway's Defence Minister Tore Sandvik said in a statement.
"American forces will continue to receive the supply and support they require from Norway," he added.
Sandvik issued his statement after privately held Norwegian fuel supplier Haltbakk Bunkers said that it would stop supplying U.S. Navy ships in response to how Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was treated at the White House on Friday.
"Huge credit to the president of Ukraine restraining himself and for keeping calm even though USA put on a backstabbing TV show. It made us sick... No Fuel to Americans!," the company said in a now deleted Facebook post.

How do you say, “Ha, ha!”, in Norwegian?
In World War II, we bombed Narvik. USS ranger launched a bunch of SBD dauntlesses and F4F wildcats. Shot down Germans. Lucky the krauts didn’t have to deal with the deflection shooting USN pilots much.
We should put a carrier off the coast, they will know exactly what it means.
How many ships has Norway in the black sea?
We can’t get out of NATO fast enough. We’ll get along better with Russia after they kick their ass.
I’d verify the quality of any fuel before taking it onboard.
Uff Da covers a lot of things.

FAFO
Kinda thought the Government would say.....whoa boy...we’re talking about a country that protects us...
yes, we need to dissolve nato. If we go, it crumbles. Then it’s just a bunch of haitians in funny blue hats like the un
Great post. Great.
As of 2024, Norway hadn’t yet budgeted 2% of their GDP to their own defense that all NATO members agreed to in 2014. In 2024, they proposed an increase over a 12 year period, but I have no idea if that plan was ever approved. So as far as I can tell, they are still behind on their own defense spending. They’ve been in NATO since 1949.
Looks like far-left Bunkers went Bonkers ...
But...doesn't mean we have to supply weapons, men or anything else.
How about an Abraham Accords for Europe. President will make deals with each individual country. Those that want to foot the bill for their own protection, great! Those that hesitate..... Oh, well.
Yes, I know. It is not perfect. However, between the countries that do come on board, and our sea power (on and under the ocean), we could stop, counter anything big enough to threaten America.
Nuke Norway.

I feel exactly the same. Screw NATO and the EU.
Not one drop of American blood should be shed for these bastards.
Allies: do whatever you want. We aint coming. Enjoy.
Well, “Hoosker-doo”.
