flag Spain urges EU to speed up joint army amid U.S. tensions, stressing defense unity without replacing NATO.

flag Spain is pushing the EU to accelerate plans for a joint army amid rising tensions over U.S. President Trump’s remarks about Greenland, urging deeper defense integration to strengthen Europe’s strategic autonomy. flag Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares emphasized consolidating defense assets, merging the EU’s defense industry, and forming a coalition of willing nations to enhance collective deterrence. flag He stressed the force would complement NATO, not replace it, and argued unified action would be more effective than fragmented national armies. flag The call comes ahead of an emergency EU meeting, despite Trump’s later claim of a NATO dialogue framework.
