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.
