The US is discussing the possibility of deploying nuclear weapons in additional European alliance countries. As reported by the Financial Times, citing sources, this step is intended to reassure allies that a reduction in conventional military support from the US will not weaken their security guarantees.

According to three interlocutors of the publication, Washington is ready to go beyond the six countries (currently Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Turkey, and the United Kingdom) where nuclear-capable aircraft are currently stationed.

Confidential negotiations on this matter began amid fears in Europe that Donald Trump might withdraw some US troops and critical armaments from the continent.

If the negotiations are successful for the US, even more countries will be able to host American Dual-Capable Aircraft (DCA), capable of delivering nuclear strikes, on their territory. In this way, the US seeks to demonstrate the reliability of its "nuclear umbrella," while simultaneously encouraging European allies to bear a larger portion of traditional defense costs.

The eastern flank of NATO, specifically countries bordering Russia, shows the greatest interest in expanding the program.
