Macron considers deploying French nuclear weapons in Europe

French President Emmanuel Macron announced France is open to discussing the potential deployment of its nuclear weapons in other European countries. This move aims to bolster European defense capabilities. Macron stated discussions would begin soon, contingent on conditions including shared European effort, no detriment to French deterrence, and his ultimate control over weapon use. The announcement follows calls for increased European defense, particularly from Poland. The proposal comes amid concerns about U.S. commitment to European security and discussions with Germany on nuclear deterrence. American nuclear weapons are already stationed in several European countries under NATO agreements.
