France will increase the size of its nuclear arsenal and strengthen its deterrent capabilities, with a growing risk of global conflicts crossing the nuclear threshold, President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday.
"We are currently experiencing a period of geopolitical turmoil filled with risks," Macron said in a speech delivered from a submarine base in Brittany, adding that a "strengthening" of the French deterrence model was necessary.
Unveiling the update of France's nuclear doctrine at a nuclear base on the Atlantic coast, Macron also said a "major" change would see more cooperation with European allies who have expressed interest, including Germany.
Germany, but also Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark will be able to participate in French nuclear maneuvers, Macron said, although he made it clear that decision-making on nuclear strikes will remain solely in the hands of the French president.
The French leader added that it would be possible to create, under unspecified circumstances, strategic assets in other European countries that would be part of what he called a new "forward deterrence" doctrine.
Although France and Britain are both nuclear powers, most European countries rely primarily on the United States to deter any potential adversary - a decades-old pillar of transatlantic security.
