France’s nuclear deterrent already covers allies, says far right leader Bardella
from Daily SumUp
The leader of France's main far-right party said that his country's nuclear deterrent "by definition" already protects its allies, days before European leaders meet to discuss shoring up the bloc's common defense capabilities."The defense of French interests does not stop at [French] borders," National Rally President Jordan Bardella said on radio station RTL. "Since [former French President Charles] de Gaulle, the French nuclear umbrella protects, by definition, certain neighbors and certain European partners."French President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday it was necessary to have a "strategic conversation" with European allies about how France's nuclear weapons could contribute to Europe's security, amid concern over U.S. President Donald Trump's friendlier approach to Moscow and potential U.S. military disengagement from the continent.
