What will an Anglo-French pact on nuclear defense mean for Europe? | DW News

From DW News.

In a striking shift for European defense, Britain and France have agreed to coordinate their nuclear arsenals for the first time. The aim is to present a united front against potential threats to the continent. It signals growing unease over America’s long-term security commitments and marks a new chapter in Europe’s efforts to assert strategic autonomy. What’s known as the ‘Northwood Declaration’ ties together the two countries’ independent deterrents. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer made the stakes clear this morning. Insights from Phillips O’Brien, Professor of Strategic Studies and Head of the School of International Relations at St Andrews University in Scotland.
