Norway Says It Will Continue Supplying Fuel to US Navy Despite Company Boycott

Norwegian marine fuel supplier Hattbakk Bunkers demonstrated its support for Ukraine by announcing it would cease providing fuel to US Navy vessels following Friday’s controversial White House meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.

“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 stated in a Facebook post, highlighting its ethical concerns about recent US foreign policy positions.

In conversation with Norwegian newspaper VG, Hattbakk Bunkers CEO Gunnar Gran explained the decision was primarily a matter of principle rather than business, acknowledging it would have a “symbolic” impact as the company did not maintain a fixed contract with American forces.

The announcement prompted a swift response from Norway’s government. Defense Minister Tore Sandvik issued a statement on Sunday to clarify that the national position would remain unchanged.

“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,” Sandvik said, adding that “American forces will continue to receive the supply and support they require from Norway.”

The company has since deleted the post. But its response has been received well on social media.
