Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner advocates talks with Macron about nuclear deterrence. Lindner deviates from the previous line of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who has so far rejected a debate about a change of course in NATO's nuclear deterrent.
The current deterrence of American weapons can hardly be replaced by a comparable EU arsenal. Germany does not have its own nuclear weapons and has never agreed on so-called “nuclear sharing with the USA” In the event of nuclear war, German fighter jets fly their nuclear targets to their targets.
