The Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, has not ruled out that Spain could participate in the European military mission that in response to Donald Trump, take over the largest island in the world.
“Reinforcement would be an optionfor example, but we will see throughout today. I believe that events should not be precipitated,” Robles said in statements to the media upon his arrival at Congress, where he appears before the Official Secrets Commission from 8:30 a.m.
Robles’ words come after France, Germany, Sweden and Norway have already announced the sending of troops to the Danish autonomous territory to jointly study possible ways to cooperate with the goal of securing the region.
“We are permanently in agreement with the other allies. We will see throughout today what is on the table in those meetings,” insisted Robles, who specified that, in any case, the European mission would be “surveillance”.
The minister has been cautious and has insisted that we must wait to see how events develop throughout the day, in which “there are meetings.” “Let’s see how everything progresses and based on that, decisions will be made,” he stated.
The end of NATO?
When asked if he believes that the United States’ seizure of Greenland by force could mean the end of the Atlantic Alliancehas responded no, although it has considered it “unacceptable” for it to be carried out.
“It would be very serious if that were to happen.but we are going to be prudent when making decisions and above all, it is important to respect the frameworks that are in place, frameworks of great prudence, of great discretion, to see what solutions are taken,” he said.
