NATO Considers Expanding US Nuclear-Sharing Role to Eastern Allies
The talks, which remain confidential and have not yet produced any formal policy decisions, are taking place as European allies assess the long-term direction of US security commitments under the administration of President Donald Trump.
According to reports, US officials have indicated a willingness to consider deploying dual-capable aircraft to additional NATO countries beyond the six current participants in the alliance’s nuclear-sharing framework: Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Türkiye, and the United Kingdom.
Such a move could enable additional allies to host aircraft capable of delivering US nuclear weapons as part of NATO’s broader deterrence strategy.
Reports indicate that countries on NATO’s eastern flank, including Poland and several of the Baltic states, have shown interest in hosting dual-capable aircraft bases.
Analysts view the discussions as part of wider efforts by NATO members to strengthen deterrence and adapt the alliance’s defense posture amid evolving security concerns in Europe.
