![]() France is ready to use its nuclear deterrent to help protect Europe, The Telegraph understands. Fighter jets carrying nuclear weapons could be deployed to Germany as the US threatens to withdraw its forces from the Continent. Friedrich Merz, expected to be the next German chancellor after winning his country’s elections on Sunday, has called on Britain and France to extend their nuclear protection as he seeks “independence” for Europe from Donald Trump’s America. A French official told The Telegraph that deploying fighter jets would send a message to Vladimir Putin․ “Posting a few French nuclear jet fighters in Germany should not be difficult and would send a strong message,” the source said. |
