France's nuclear weapons should be part of European defence debate, Macron says

French President Emmanuel Macron's remarks advocating for a European debate on integrating France's nuclear weapons into a broader European defense strategy have sparked controversy. Macron suggested that European defense should extend beyond NATO's protection and include missile defense, long-range weapons, and nuclear weapons. His comments, made in the context of strengthening European defenses, drew criticism from political opponents across the spectrum. Right-wing politicians labeled Macron a "national danger," while the far-left accused him of undermining France's strategic autonomy.
