flag Macron announces updated nuclear strategy, affirming France’s independent deterrent amid U.S. uncertainty.

flag French President Emmanuel Macron is set to unveil an updated nuclear strategy amid growing European concerns about the reliability of the U.S. nuclear umbrella, particularly under a potential second Trump administration. flag The update emphasizes France’s commitment to maintaining an independent, minimal but credible deterrent with full national control, rejecting calls for shared European nuclear forces. flag While France offers strategic reassurance to allies, skepticism remains over the feasibility, cost, and credibility of a European nuclear capability. flag The U.S. continues to station nuclear weapons in five NATO countries and reaffirms its extended deterrence commitment. flag Macron’s move underscores a broader push for European strategic autonomy without challenging NATO or undermining global non-proliferation efforts.
