This paper analyzes how the French and British nuclear deterrents could play a broader and stronger role in ensuring the security of Europe. Discarding the idea of a single “European deterrent”, the text´s author suggests possible credible pathways to enhance European nuclear cooperation based on French and possibly British forces, preferably outside the EU context. Furthermore, the publication also outlines how future US decisions and policies towards Europe will be a critical factor in defining the range of realistic scenarios and outcomes on the continent.
