Foreign media: The United States expressed "deep concern" over the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund's decision to divest from Caterpillar Inc., and is currently communicating with the Norwegian government on this issue.
The Norwegian wealth fund is the world's largest such fund. It divested from Caterpillar on ethical grounds, arguing that the Israeli authorities' use of Caterpillar products in Gaza and the West Bank "seriously and systematically violates international humanitarian law," for example, "massive illegal destruction of Palestinian property."
A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State said the decision seemed to be based on "unlawful allegations" against Caterpillar and the Israeli government.
