I think the article's implication is pretty clear that it's trying to enumerate countries which possess/control nuclear weapons, not stationed. I doubt the political leader of Neatherlands can trigger those American weapons stationed on its territory.
During the cold war American weapons were certainly deployed in Europe and elsewhere and some very likely still are.

Estimated number of weapons by base: Kleine Brogel (Belgium): 10~20 Büchel (Germany): >=20 Volkel (Netherlands): 10~20 Aviano (Italy): 50 Ghedi (Italy): 20~40 Incirlik (Turkey): 50~90 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_sharing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_sharing
