🚨Global Alert(@trendingnews911):Norway pulled the Naval Strike Missile sale to Malaysia after Kuala Lumpur had already paid 95% of the contract, citing new rules limiting sensitive exports to allies only. PM Anwar Ibrahim called it "contracts are not confetti to be scattered in so capricious a manner." Malaysia is now exploring legal action. Oslo has a defensible policy rationale, but canceling a near-fully-paid contract without apparent prior warning is the kind of move that hands Beijing a ready-made argument about Western reliability as an arms supplier.
