UK, France Sign Historic Nuclear Coordination Agreement

UK, France Sign Historic Nuclear Coordination Agreement

The Spin

This nuclear partnership represents essential European leadership as America potentially scales back its continental presence under Trump. The coordinated deterrent sends a clear message to Putin that Europe won't be intimidated, while the missile development creates thousands of jobs and strengthens NATO's eastern flank.

This dangerous escalation risks dragging Britain into France's conflicts while abandoning our independent nuclear deterrent that has kept us safe for decades. The migration deal fails to address the root cause of Channel crossings, and deeper EU defense integration threatens our post-Brexit sovereignty.
