🇵🇱☢️ Poland will seek to build nuclear weapons says PM Donald Tusk

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk signaled his country will eventually try to obtain its own nuclear weapons as Europe strengthens deterrence amid doubts over US commitment to defending the continent.

“Poland takes nuclear security very seriously,” the prime minister said ahead of a weekly government meeting on Tuesday. “As our autonomous capabilities grow, we will strive to prepare Poland for the most autonomous actions possible in this matter in the future.”

🇫🇷☢️🇩🇪🇵🇱 France to increase nuclear arsenal and European weapons cooperation, Macron says

French president says Paris could deploy nuclear-capable fighter jets to countries such as Germany and Poland

France will increase the size of its nuclear arsenal for the first time in decades and significantly intensify nuclear weapons cooperation with eight European allies including the UK as part of a “major” strengthening of its deterrence doctrine, Emmanuel Macron has said.

Amid growing concern among European leaders about wavering US commitments to help defend the continent, the French president said on Monday that Paris could deploy nuclear-capable Rafale fighter jets to partner countries such as Germany and Poland.

But there would be no sharing of decision-making on the use of the country’s nuclear weapons, he said, with the “ultimate decision” the responsibility of the French president and “the definition of [France’s] vital interests” also remaining “sovereign”.

Macron cited Russia’s war against Ukraine, which last month entered its fifth year, China’s expanding military power and recent changes in US defence strategy as reasons why Europe had to take more direct responsibility for its own security.

Under unspecified circumstances, French “strategic assets” could be deployed in other European countries, he said, referring to France’s nuclear-capable Rafale jets. Talks on enhanced cooperation had already started with the UK, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Sweden and Denmark, he added.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — NEW: The Trump administration is considering providing military protection for oil and gas tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz to ease energy prices that have climbed after Iran warned it could target ships in the waterway, according to POLITICO.

➡️ The Trump administration is also considering having the U.S. government backstop insurance for tankers, as marine insurers raise premiums or withdraw coverage, even though the strait remains open.

➡️ The Pentagon is discussing a maritime mission similar to past Red Sea operations, where U.S. carriers and destroyers were deployed to protect freedom of navigation amid threats from Iran-linked forces.
