    Norwegian Fuel Firm Boycotts US Warships Over Ukraine Policy

    A Norwegian fuel company, Haltbakk Bunkers, has ceased supplying fuel to US military forces in Norway due to dissatisfaction with President Trump's treatment of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. The company owner cited a moral obligation, similar to their previous ban on fuel sales to Russian entities after the invasion of Ukraine. This decision follows a reported tense exchange between Trump and Zelenskyy at the White House, where Trump criticised Zelenskyy's perceived lack of gratitude for US aid. Although Haltbakk Bunkers' fuel supply to US ships is relatively small, the action highlights growing European unease with US policy towards Ukraine. Despite the boycott, Norway has assured the US that it will continue to provide full logistical support to American forces. The incident occurs within the context of Norway's existing security concerns regarding Russia, given their shared arctic border. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    We Dive Into: Trump on Gaza Ceasefire Talks

    This news report details Donald Trump's comments on ongoing ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas. The existing three-phase ceasefire, initiated on January 19, is nearing the end of its initial six-week phase. Israel is sending negotiators to Cairo to discuss extending the first phase, though Trump offered limited specifics, expressing cautious optimism. The ceasefire has involved the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees, but both sides have accused each other of violations. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, present at the press conference, reaffirmed support for a two-state solution. The backdrop includes the significant casualties and displacement in Gaza since October 2023, following the initial Hamas attack on Israel.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    We Dive Into: Trump's Ukraine Deal - Minerals, Security, and European Burden

    President Trump is pursuing a deal with Ukraine focused on American access to the country's mineral resources, estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. However, this agreement apparently lacks US security guarantees for Ukraine, with Trump suggesting Europe should bear that responsibility. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is scheduled to visit Washington to discuss the deal and seek assurances regarding future security. Zelenskyy hopes the mineral deal will lead to security guarantees, which he sees as essential for a meaningful ceasefire, while Trump aims to recoup US aid through resource exploitation. The potential agreement is portrayed as a business venture by some, raising concerns about whether it prioritises American interests over Ukrainian security. The UK also believes that Europe needs to take more responsibility for Ukraine's safety, and that any negotiations about Ukraine's future must include Ukraine.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
