Norway Joins French Nuclear Shield

In a major strategic pivot, Norway has opened formal talks to come under France's nuclear umbrella.

Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere and President Emmanuel Macron announced the initiative following a meeting in Paris, citing a need for greater European strategic autonomy.

The shift marks a departure from Norway's traditional reliance on the US-led NATO nuclear deterrent.

The move comes as European leaders increasingly question Washington's long-term commitment to continental security under the Trump administration.
