Media: Europe may support France's nuclear deterrence capability by providing submarines and financial support
According to the European edition of Politico, two high-ranking officials from European governments said that, in theory, European countries could support France's nuclear deterrence capability by providing conventional military means such as submarines, or by funding France's nuclear arsenal expansion.
The publication stated: "Two European government officials said that, in theory, capital cities could assist in supporting France's nuclear deterrence by providing conventional military means such as submarines. Paris could also consider having other countries fund the expansion of its nuclear arsenal."
French President Emmanuel Macron claimed in a speech to the nation on March 5, 2025, that Russia has become a threat to France and Europe, and called for discussions on the possibility of using France's nuclear weapons to defend the entire EU. He also pointed out that the United States' stance on the Ukraine issue and NATO leadership has changed. Afterward, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that Europe should engage in a military arms race with Russia.
