"It posted on social media to declare its support for Zelensky and dealt a serious blow to US President Trump following the unprecedented scenes of discord televised from the Oval Office."
Heh heh heh heh heh ... sorry Bubba, but this ain't no "serious blow to President Trump." We'll see just how long it is before you are back to saying "Yes, sir ... how much fuel do you want in your ships, today, sir!" Meanwhile, our Navy will simply refuel with someone else.

Norway has officially broken its silence after a Norwegian fuel firm announced a ban on refuelling any US Navy vessels.
On Saturday, the Express broke the news that petrol giant Haltbakk Bunkers had banned all sales to US forces following Donald Trump's treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. The firm had announced it will stop providing fuel to all American forces in Norway as it declared "No fuel to Americans!".
It posted on social media to declare its support for Zelensky and dealt a serious blow to US President Trump following the unprecedented scenes of discord televised from the Oval Office.
Now the Norwegian Minister of Defence has contacted the Express to make clear the country's official position is one of cooperation with the US.
Norway's Minister of Defence Tore O. Sandvik told the Express: "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. I can confirm that all requested support has been provided. The U.S. and Norway maintain a close and strong defense cooperation. American forces will continue to receive the supply and support they require from Norway."
Haltbakk Bunker had announced: "We have today been witnesses to the biggest s***how ever presented "live on tv" by the current American president and his vice president.
"Huge credit to the president of Ukraine restraining himself and for keeping calm even though USA put on a backstabbing tv show. It made us sick. Short and sweet. As a result, we have decided to immediate STOP as fuel provider to American forces in Norway and their ships calling Norwegian ports.
"No Fuel to Americans! We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example. SLAVA UKRAINA"
Owner of the firm Gunnar Gran has told Norwegian maritime news site Kystens Næringsliv that 'not a litre of fuel' will be delivered 'until Trump is finished'.
It reported: "As you probably understand, not a liter will be delivered until Trump is finished, the owner tells Kystens Næringsliv.
"We run a private limited company and choose our customers!"
The owner also said that the group has excluded Russians since Putin's invasion, adding: "It gave a lot of our competitors a lot of extra revenue. We lost a lot of revenue. But we have a moral compass. Now the United States is excluded based on their behavior towards the Ukrainians."
It had said that fuel ban takes effect immediately and applies to vessels calling at Norwegian ports, it says.
It comes as Volodymyr Zelensky thanked the “American people” and leadership and held out hope for “strong relations”, the day after an astonishing clash with Donald Trump left many uncertain where the once staunch allies stood.
Ukraine had walked into a meeting at the White House on Friday prepared to sign a mineral deal with the US, hoping it would be a step towardsa just ceasefire, but left empty-handed.
In a series of posts on X on Saturday, the Ukrainian president said his people are “very grateful to the United States for all the support”, and specifically thanked Mr Trump and Congress alongside the “American people”.
“Our relationship with the American President is more than just two leaders: It’s a historic and solid bond between our peoples. … American people helped save our people,” he wrote.
“We want only strong relations with America and I really hope we will have them.”
The shouting match that unfolded in the final minutes of the meeting between the two leaders at the Oval Office on Friday seemed to dash, at least for now, Ukrainian hopes that the US could be confirmed as a reliable partner in helping to fend off, and conclude, Russia’s three-year onslaught.
The exchange saw the frustrated Ukrainian president lectured by Trump and vice president JD Vance over what they saw as his lack of gratitude for previous US support.
“You’re gambling with millions of people … You’re gambling with World War Three,” Mr Trump told Mr Zelensky of his attempts to resist the Russian invasion.
It delighted officials in Moscow who saw it as a final breakdown in relations between Washington and the Ukrainian leader.
Today, Zelensky met King Charles at Sandringham, the day after Sir Keir Starmer embraced the embattled leader with a hug outside 10 Downing Street and pledged another £1.6Bn in loans to fund missiles for Ukraine.
