Denmark open to Macron’s nuclear deterrent proposal

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stated that EU countries should discuss French President Emmanuel Macron's proposal to bring European nations under the protection of France's nuclear forces, Tass reported.

"All good ideas around the table have to be a part of our discussion," she said ahead of the EU summit in Brussels.

According to Politico, France is the only nuclear power in the European Union and one of three NATO member states possessing nuclear weapons, alongside the US and the UK.

Earlier, it was reported that France is open to deploying its nuclear weapons on allied territory to replace the US nuclear presence in Europe.

On Wednesday, in a speech to the French public, Macron announced that he had decided to initiate discussions on using France’s nuclear arsenal to protect the entire European Union.
