Spain’s foreign minister José Manuel Albares refused to be drawn on whether a US invasion of Greenland would spell the end of Nato, but told El País newspaper:

“We’ve made our position clear: like sovereignty, territorial integrity is part of international law. And this is not merely an intellectual construct; it’s the honourable way in which states relate to one another, cooperate, and move forward together peacefully.

If any ally believes that Arctic security is not sufficiently well protected, just as Spain raised the issue of the southern flank at the Nato summit in Madrid, there is no problem in discussing it and working together to address any security gaps that may exist.

But the territorial integrity of any state, especially if it is an EU partner … Denmark certainly has our full support.”
