Spain Urges the Establishment of an EU Joint Army
参考消息网1月23日报道 据路透社1月21日报道，西班牙外交大臣阿尔瓦雷斯21日表示，西班牙正敦促欧盟朝着建立联合军队的方向迈进，以此作为一项威慑措施。
阿尔瓦雷斯称，欧盟应首先集中精力整合其有形资源，以妥善整合其国防工业，然后动员成员国军事力量。
阿尔瓦雷斯说，关于欧洲公民是否愿意集结军事力量的担忧是个“合理的辩论”，但作为一个整体集结足够力量，较单独防御有更高的可能性。
他补充说：“联合行动将比27个独立的国家军队更有效。”
22日晚些时候，欧盟领导人将在布鲁塞尔召开紧急会议，协调共同应对美国总统特朗普购买或吞并格陵兰岛的威胁。
欧盟理事会的一名发言人21日晚些时候证实，尽管特朗普在社交媒体上宣布他和北约秘书长马克·吕特已经“制定了一项协议的框架”，但会议仍将举行。
阿尔瓦雷斯强调，组建这样一支军队的目的不是为了取代北约，并强调了跨大西洋联盟的重要性。
阿尔瓦雷斯称：“我们需要证明，欧洲不会允许自己受到军事或经济胁迫。”（编译/王海昉）
