France and the U.K. will now coordinate their nuclear deterrence strategies and respond jointly to major threats facing Europe. The agreement is expected to be formally signed on Thursday:
The announcement, made during French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to the U.K., is intended to reassure European allies amid uncertainty over the U.S.’s long-term security commitment to the region.
The move signals a shift toward greater European defence autonomy, positioning French and British nuclear capabilities as a collective deterrent for Europe.
Although both countries are NATO members, their nuclear arsenals have traditionally been kept outside NATO’s collective defence obligations.
Combined, France and the U.K. possess around 515 nuclear warheads, far fewer than the U.S. or Russia, but still sufficient to serve as a credible deterrent.
