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.

This is possibly the most insane national security story in the last 50 years. Includes a massive text chain between senior members of the Trump admin gaming out foreign policy and war plans on Signal, and they accidentally added a reporter to the group chat. Image

The scion of a Mexican billionaire suddenly leaned forward from their seat on the private jet.

“You absolutely cannot use my name.”

From @hntrbrkmedia, the story of how American companies Remitly and Western Union may be exposed to cartel money laundering on a massive scale. Image
Cartels increasingly rely on “money-mule” networks using remittance services to funnel cash from U.S. drug sales back into Mexico, avoiding scrutiny through thousands of small transactions. https://insightcrime.org/news/connected-black-market-how-dark-web-empowered-latam-organized-crime/
In 2023, Reuters scrutinized the conglomerate Grupo Elektra/Banco Azteca in its Special Report: “How Mexican narcos use remittances to wire U.S. drug profits home.” https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/mexico-drugs-remittances/

Four senior members of President Trump’s entourage have secretly met with Ukrainian opposition leaders on potentially holding early elections to unseat Zelensky, per Politico. Image
"The official line from the U.S. administration is that Trump is not interfering in Ukraine’s domestic politics. This week, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick denied his boss was “weighing into Ukrainian politics,” adding all that Trump wants is a partner for peace."
"The senior Trump allies held talks with Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, and senior members of the party of Petro Poroshenko, Zelenskyy’s immediate predecessor as president, according to three Ukrainian parliamentarians and a U.S. Republican foreign policy expert."
