After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels.

Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces. Image
The shutdown may have already affected USS Virginia (SSN-774), which attempted to refuel in Norway today but turned around.

(The Virginia class requires some marine diesel for its Caterpillar model 3512B V-12 auxiliary generator).

Of note, Haltbakk Bunkers is a wholly privately owned company, owned and controlled by Gunnar Gran.

Couple of notes:

CEO Gunnar Gran confirmed to Kystens Næringsliv that the post is real, saying: "not a liter will be delivered until Trump is finished"

MMSI data shows the sub was USS Delaware (SSN-791), another Virginia class sub, not USS Virginia.

The President has begun many recent mornings watching video clips compiled by military officials of battlefield successes. Image
"Trump told them he wants to wind down the campaign, wary of a protracted conflict that could hobble Republicans heading into the midterms. At the same time, he wants the operation to be a decisive success. "
