At the closing of a working breakfast at Ateneo de Madrid, Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares pointed out that if Denmark requests assistance as a NATO member, the European Union (EU) could respond positively.
“If there are currently elements or situations around Greenland or in the Arctic that could jeopardize Atlantic security, I am sure we could all analyze it, and if security needs to be reinforced, it would be,” Albares stated.
Clarifying that European security is not adequately protected, he affirmed that Spain and its European allies would be willing to “analyze it, study it, and strengthen it.”
On another note, as with the case of Ukraine, the Spanish Foreign Minister advocated for launching a “coalition of volunteers” with a view to advancing European integration and the common defense project.
“Europe has to stop talking and start acting and make it clear that it will have a seat at the table with the major powers,” he opined, referring to the case of Venezuela and other threatened countries. No mention of the US or US President Donald Trump.
