Europe Blocks U.S. Military Access Over Trump’s War

March 31, 2026 · 9:09 am ET · Leave a Comment

Bloomberg: “Donald Trump’s NATO allies are increasing resistance to getting involved in his Iran war, risking a deeper rupture in the already strained military bloc.”

“Spain closed its airspace to US jets Monday, and Italy denied US military aircraft bound for the Middle East permission to land at a base in Sicily, according to a person familiar with the matter. Poland said it has no plans to relocate its Patriot batteries, following a report that the US has suggested Warsaw consider sending one of its systems to shore up air defenses in the Middle East.”
