France Ready to Deploy Nuclear-Armed Aircraft in Europe: Macron

Macron stated that France is prepared to deploy nuclear-armed aircraft in Europe, according to media reports. "We are ready to start this discussion. I will officially define the framework in the coming weeks and months, but we have already begun to take action. If Europeans want to remain free, they must be ready to arm themselves, show solidarity, and deter adversaries," he said.

He also outlined three conditions for the deployment of French nuclear-armed aircraft in EU countries. First, France "will not pay for the security of others," the deployment of weapons will not compromise the country's security, and "the final decision will always rest with the President of France," Macron added.
