José Manuel Albares, the Spanish Foreign Minister, emphasized the need for the EU to assert its values and take control of its security during an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos. He advocated for the establishment of a European army in response to geopolitical pressures and uncertainties in transatlantic relations. Albares acknowledged past failures in creating a common European defense force but argued that the current situation is different. He also discussed Spain's cautious approach to joining the US-led 'Peace Council' and reiterated Spain's commitment to international law and the UN's authority. Albares condemned US pressure on Denmark regarding Greenland and reaffirmed Spain's support for a peaceful resolution in Venezuela and a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
