UK, France to sign declaration enabling 'co-ordinated' nuclear deterrent
The UK and France will declare that the two nations' nuclear deterrents, while independent, can be coordinated and that they will jointly respond to any "extreme threat to Europe," both countries said Wednesday.
The declaration, to be signed Thursday, will state that the respective deterrents of both countries remain independent "but can be co-ordinated, and that there is no extreme threat to Europe that would not prompt a response by both nations", the UK government and French presidency said.
