Norway ready to start nuclear weapons talks with France

(Laura Kayali – Politico) Norway is willing to start talks with Paris on how French nuclear weapons can contribute to the continent’s security, Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said on Tuesday. “We are ready to discuss this within the framework of a partnership agreement with France. But our nuclear policy remains firm. We will not have nuclear weapons on Norwegian soil in peacetime,” he told the Norwegian parliament. Oslo’s willingness to start talks is yet another example of how European countries are shifting their security strategies in the wake of Russia’s attack on Ukraine and worries about relying on the U.S. following Donald Trump’s reelection. – Norway ready to start nuclear weapons talks with France – POLITICO
