Norway Prepared to Initiate Nuclear Weapons Talks with France

The statement follows French President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement on Monday that Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Greece have agreed to collaborate with France on its nuclear deterrent.

Macron stated that France will establish “exchange bodies at the political level” with these seven nations in the coming days. This cooperation will involve allowing European allies access to French “strategic locations,” conducting joint exercises, and potentially deploying French nuclear-capable Rafale fighter jets in other countries temporarily.

Eide mentioned that nuclear discussions would be included in negotiations for a strategic defense agreement with France. He noted that Norway, known for its strong ties with the U.S., would also seek closer cooperation with other nations, including the U.K., Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland.

“This is part of our hedging strategy,” he remarked.
