US Senator threatens Norway (www-nrk-no.translate.goog)

Because the Norwegian Pension Fund - which is the largest in the world: has decided to withdraw from investing in Caterpillar, an American company, because Israel uses some of their products.

As the Council on Ethics assesses, there is no doubt that Caterpillar's products are being used to commit extensive and systematic violations of humanitarian law. Nor does the company have any measures of its own to prevent such use," the council wrote in to exclude the company from the fund.
