Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called for the formation of a “European Armed Forces” in light of U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s threats to use military force to take control of Greenland.
Despite having chronically underinvested in its own defence, the socialist government in Madrid appears intent on pushing forward the globalist project of forming an EU Army. Following comments earlier this month from his Foreign Minister, José Manuel Albares, backing a common defence force, Prime Minsiter Sanchéz publicly expressed support for integrating Europe’s militaries.
Speaking to the Barcelona daily La Vanguardia, the socialist leader said: “If the U.S. has legitimate concerns about security in the Arctic, this should be raised in NATO’s North Atlantic Council. Faced with this situation, Europe must advance its integration process and equip itself with a truly common defence.”
Sanchéz said that it would not necessarily require all 27 member states to agree, but could rather be started by a select group of European powers with the aim of expanding outward.
