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.

    Let’s see how they like it when Trump says they haven’t done enough to support the USA and are taking advantage of them. You can support their military in critical operations and they simply won’t remember. Good luck, Norway, you’re playing a stupid game that you will lose.

      First of all it’s a private company that supplies many of the ports. It’s not an official stance.

      Second. It’s a private company that can choose its customers because capitalism.

      Third. The minister of defence has publicly stated that Norways obligations will be met.

      Fourth. I have no idea how often the US Navy has to bunker in Norwegian ports, but. I suspect it’s not that often. The subs dont need fuel and I think they are the most frequent visitors.

      Fifth. You can suck Trumps dick and fondling his balls while paying him money to do so and he would still “forget” if remembering is in any way an inconvenient for him.

      Sixt. Fuck Trump, Fuck the US, and fuck the US Navy

      I genuinely don’t get the point you’re trying to make? What exactly is the problem with supplying fuel to ships that are docked in Norway?
