“An angry outburst by US Senator Lindsey Graham at Norway’s sovereign wealth fund over its divestment of Caterpillar Inc. prompted a response by the Nordic nation’s prime minister to explain the government has no role in the fund’s decisions, his office said.
Premier Jonas Gahr Store sent a text message to Graham and got a confirmation that it was received, a spokesperson at prime minister’s office said. Store’s message included information about the fund’s mandate and how its oversight is set up, the spokesperson said.
The Republican Senator lashed out at the $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund – the world’s largest – in two social media posts on X earlier this week, threatening tariffs and visa denials because of its recent divestments from the Texas-based firm.
Norway’s $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund said this week it had sold its holdings in Caterpillar based on Israel’s use of the firm’s bulldozers to destroy Palestinian property in Gaza and in the occupied West Bank. The fund held about $2.1 billion worth of shares in the company as of June 30.
The reaction from the US lawmaker came at a delicate time for the fund and for the Norwegian government. Norway holds parliamentary elections on Sept. 8, and there has been pressure for the fund to divest from Israeli companies contributing to the war in Gaza.
Graham first promised that the fund’s “BS decision” would have consequences, then spoke specifically about tariffs and possible visa denials.
The Trump administration has already placed a 15% tariff on imports from Norway while the two nations remain engaged in trade negotiations.” – Bloomberg
FK the US regime. They can not keep trying to blackmail countries with tariffs fyi the US payer pays by the way. It’s a sovereign fund NOT run by the government unlike what The Felon wants to do.
Gang culture and extortion rackets are ripe in the good ol USA. Not even staying in Europe means you’re safe from American crime culture nowadays.
Trump: “I have asked Norway to give 10% of Norway big and beautiful Trillion dollar fund, because they don’t need it and we need it. If Norway refuses, maybe Russia, you know the big bad Russia will invade! I’m not saying it will but if Norway doesn’t want to give us 10%, you know maybe Russia will invade !!!”
Just once I’d like to hear a world leader just drop the diplomatic niceties and tell the Trump admin to fuck all of the way off.
Graham says dumb shit all the time. This is barely even news worthy.
In the past Hes called for nuking Gaza.
Hes also been threatening to destroy the Russian economy. Yet it hasn’t happened, because he has no real power.
Hes americas medvedev equivalent.
Him and the rest of his generation are almost dead, and then all US support for Israel will be pulled and you will never hear any outbursts like this again.
The US is about to go from the most pro Israel country to one of the least. Just need a couple more years for these old folks to kick the bucket.
What makes Europe stronger is a desire to see a better world for everyone when everyone else seems to want to regress.
I hope we can stand fast against this new selfish world order.
The irony of the US criticising Norway’s sovereign wealth fund when Trump has literally just set one up.
Countries should not be penalised for making sound financial decisions.
Wondering who will Lithuania support.
As if USA doesn’t shell giga-grants to companies and banks whenever they feel like they need it.
Excellent perhaps others will follow. That American bond market must ready for a dump right about now 🤷♂️
America can go lick an ass.
Trump’s government, taking backhanders (or being blackmailed) from Putin, are doing their best to destabilise Europe and friendly nations.
Fuck off lady Lindsey! His state, South Carolina, is one of the most backward states in the US. Perhaps he should be more concerned with the living standards of his constituents than a sovereign wealth fund on the other side of the world.
Why is America angry if and when other countries exercise the free market?
Great move !
Who’s next ?
Trump throws his weight around threatening tariffs if the ROW doesn’t kiss his ring. ROW turns around and shows America it does NOT rule the world. America has hissy fit.
As a Norwegian I just want to say: If Lindsey Graham criticizes us, it proves that we’re doing something right!
F Lindsey Graham, F Texas, F USA, F Trump.
“I Am Altering the Deal, Pray I Don’t Alter It Any Further, Mr. Graham”
Hi Norway, just ignore Graham. Poor girl is on the rag today.
That’s like selling Toyota because terrorists ride in Hilux
He’s angry at Norway selling shares in the company because its machines literally bulldozes Palestine homes… Rather than the company that is bulldozing Palestine homes?
