France’s President Macron has announced an increase in the country’s nuclear arsenal, citing the need for France to be feared on the world stage. This includes allowing temporary deployment of nuclear-armed aircraft to allied countries for the first time. The move aims to strengthen Europe’s independence amid geopolitical tensions, with Macron stating that decision-making will remain solely with France. European partners are also invited to join in deterrence exercises, with France and Germany deepening integration in deterrence starting this year.
