Norwegian bunker supplier boycotts American ships
Kystens Næringsliv reports that the Norwegian bunker supplier Haltbakk Bunkers has decided to stop all fuel sales to American military vessels and land forces in Norway.
The decision comes as a reaction to a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which took place on February 28.
Gunnar Gran, owner and CEO of Haltbakk Group, states that the boycott is a moral support for Ukraine and a consequence of the U.S.'s behavior toward the Ukrainians. The company estimates that the boycott will affect deliveries of about 3 million liters of fuel annually, with a value of approximately 40 million Norwegian kroner.
- As you can probably guess, no fuel will be delivered until Trump is gone, Gran says to Kystens Næringsliv.
He adds that Haltbakk Bunkers has a moral compass guiding their decisions and that they will not compromise their values.
Gran hopes other companies will follow their example and take similar steps to show support for Ukraine.
