In a change in his country’s nuclearoctrine, France President Emmanuel Macron promised to coordinate the nuclear weapons of both countries on Thursday at the end of his state visit in Great Britain. With their correspondingly updated bilateral military agreement, the two permanent members of the UN Security Council react to US thoughts in which the collective defense of Europe was questioned as part of NATO. The planned coordination should send a signal to the allies, but also to any opponents, it was said from delegation circles, because: “It is not an extreme threat to Europe, to which both nations would react.”
