Fake News. Community notes The Government of Norway addressed this rumor and has officially stated that it has and will continue to see that all support of the US military continues unabated.
They refueled the ship ONLY AFTER news of them refusing hit the airwaves. So, the DID refuse...at first. Either way, it shows a rift among NATO and its members over Ukraine and European defense, in general.
Wrong, and you seem to have missed the point of what's happening...
It was a private company...
A private Norwegian company, Haltbakk Bunkers, reportedly refused to refuel U.S. Navy vessels in Norway. This decision was made public around March 1, 2025, following a controversial meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Haltbakk Bunkers, a significant marine fuel supplier in Norway, cited ethical concerns and dissatisfaction with U.S. policy, specifically referencing the White House event as a motivating factor. The company announced it would not supply "a single liter" of fuel to U.S. military forces docking in Norwegian ports until Trump is no longer in office, urging other European suppliers to follow suit.
However, the Norwegian government, through Defence Minister Tore Sandvik, clarified on March 2, 2025, that this was a private company's decision and not reflective of official policy. Sandvik emphasized that Norway, a NATO member, would continue to provide fuel and support to U.S. Navy ships, ensuring no disruption to allied operations. While some reports suggest this refusal impacted specific vessels, like a Virginia-class submarine, the broader operational impact appears limited as the U.S. Navy can refuel through other suppliers or locations in Norway. The company's move is largely seen as symbolic, given its estimated supply of about three million liters of fuel to U.S. forces in 2024, often through intermediary suppliers rather than direct NATO contracts.
There must be some good reason why tweets with notes that say they're fake keep getting elevated to prominence. Giving the mods the benefit of the doubt here.
If Norway wishes to break the agreement they made with NATO, eject them. If Norway is attacked by someone, does the US get to decide if we want to protect them? Clowns.
Definitely behavior that could lead to war. Glad the government of Norway disavowed this. In this possible “near death” experience, this could happen more frequently until DJT wrestles us away from WWWIII. I’m never sure how this will all work out so maybe it’s extinguished immediately like in this case or maybe it picks up steam as allies choose sides.

Appears they didn't stop this interruption. If they had this wouldn't be a story

Pull all mIlitary from EU and shut diwn NATO altogether. Let them support the midget
If they have already backed down. Fire the entire management team as a token of their commitment to loyalty. Otherwise, game on.
