IMO; the headline is overly exaggerated. It sounds like Turkey has physically taken control of the nuclear bombs and refuse to give up. Turkey would need to attack a US base/military to take the bombs which would be 'effectively declaring war' against US and pretty much rest of the world - even probably including Russia.
There is nothing in the article to suggest this is the case. Only a single paragraph pointing US officials hesitation: `One official told the paper the bombs were now effectively Mr Erdogan’s hostages. It is feared that removing the weapons could signal the end of relations between the Nato allies, while leaving them in place could put the weapons of mass destruction at risk.`
I believe a more fair headline would be: 'US hesitant to pull missiles out of Turkey for keeping relations intact'
