The United States is discussing whether to expand its nuclear weapons presence in Europe by allowing additional NATO countries to host aircraft capable of delivering nuclear weapons, according to a report in the Financial Times.
The newspaper, citing three people briefed on the discussions, reported that US officials have signalled openness to expanding deployments beyond the six European countries that currently participate in NATO's nuclear-sharing arrangements.
The talks are said to focus on the possible deployment of dual-capable aircraft (DCA), which can carry both conventional and nuclear weapons.
