German Chancellor urging France to beef up ‘Europe’s nuclear deterrent”

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has initiated talks with France on
strengthening Europe’s nuclear deterrent as he urged the continent to
bolster its defences and “repair” strained relations with the US. The
discussions, centred on the possibility of Germany joining France’s
nuclear umbrella, underline mounting anxiety in Europe over an expected
reduction in the US military presence on the continent, as Russia’s
full-scale war on Ukraine enters its fifth year.
