Renewed Focus on French Deterrence President Emmanuel Macron is set to deliver a major speech outlining how France could contribute more directly to Europe’s nuclear deterrence, as security concerns mount across the continent. Speaking from the Île Longue peninsula — home to France’s four nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines — Macron is expected to clarify that any broader French role would complement, not replace, the protection offered by the United States. France and the United Kingdom remain Europe’s only nuclear-armed powers. While Macron first floated the idea in 2020 of involving European partners more closely in France’s deterrence framework, the proposal…

The contested waters are strategically significant, both for shipping access and potential offshore resources, making the disagreement particularly sensitive. Gulf Neighbours Rally Behind Kuwait Several Gulf nations have…
