A FURIOUS gas company has called for a total ban on supplying US warships in protest of the fiery meeting between Trump and Zelensky.
Norwegian oil giant Haltbakk Bunkers defiantly pledged to not deliver “a single litre” of fuel to the US Navy until Trump “is gone”.

The announcement came after the explosive clash between President Trump, U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday.
The gas company described the unprecedented Oval Office row as the “biggest s***tshow ever”.
In protest of Zelensky’s treatment, the firm said in a Facebook post which has since been deleted: “Huge credit to the president of Ukraine for restraining himself and for keeping calm even though USA put on a backstabbing TV show.”
The company added: “It made us sick. Short and Sweet.”
“As a result, we have decided to immediately STOP as fuel provider to American forces in Norway and their ships calling Norwegian ports.
“No Fuel to Americans!”
The post sent Norwegian defence ministers into a panic, who were quick to assure the White House that Oslo remained a staunch ally of the US and confirm that fuel supplies to the U.S. were continuing.
Norway’s Defence Minister Tore Sandvik said in a statement: “We have seen reports raising concerns about support for US Navy vessels in Norway.
“This is not in line with the Norwegian government’s policy.
“American forces will continue to receive the supply and support they require from Norway.”
Although the post was deleted over the weekend, Haltbakk Bunkers CEO Gunnar Gran later confirmed that the company had actually refused to supply the US military.
“We follow our moral compass,” Gran said.
“As you probably understand, not a litre will be delivered until Trump is finished… We run a private limited company and choose our customers!”
He added that his company also previously banned Russian clients following the invasion of Ukraine, and that his company provided U.S. warships with 3,000,000 litres of fuel in 2024.
The decision to exclude Russia impacted revenue streams but aligned with the firm’s moral compass, he explained.
The post came as Zelensky experienced a firm outpouring of support from European leaders including Sir Keir Starmer, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni and French President Emmanuel Macron.
They were among a group of leaders who gathered in London on Sunday for a summit to discuss the vital importance of European commitment to defending Ukraine after the shocking Oval Office blowout.
The historic White House brawl sparked backlash from politicians as well as firms such as Haltbakk Bunkers.
