There is fear of Donald Trump in Europe: his recent threat not to defend NATO allies in the event of a Russian attack creates uncertainty in the EU’s security policy. Even a withdrawal of US nuclear weapons seems possible under Trump with his ‘America First’ philosophy. It’s no surprise that Europe is considering what to do in an emergency – and discussing nuclear deterrence.
Experts believe that with a common European nuclear weapons doctrine, two scenarios are possible: a Europeanization of the French ‘Force de frappe’ with around 300 nuclear weapons, which could carry out devastating retaliatory strikes against the attacker after a nuclear attack; or the purchase of the EU’s own nuclear weapons. There is a third possibility circulating regarding German nuclear armament; according to experts, this would be a matter of a few months. An argumentative inventory.
