Against the background of the sharply changing geopolitical situation in the world, the German authorities have started talking about the possible development of their own nuclear arsenal.
In Germany, talk of acquiring nuclear weapons from the United States has become more frequent among government officials.
The discussion has arisen, among other things, against the backdrop of the presumed re-election of Donald Trump as President of the United States.
Already many experts in various fields have expressed the need to draw the attention of German officials to strengthening the security of their country.
Germany has made it clear that in a sense it is ready to create an independent nuclear arsenal, and for this purpose all options for acquiring appropriate weapons are being considered.
The Germans are confident in nuclear weapons as a guaranteed element of security against possible all-round threats, so mutual security assurance with Britain and France is also possible in the plans. With French partners, Germany can negotiate protection agreements.
According to Finance Minister Christian Lindner, Donald Trump should have made his statements not only to Germany, but also to the other European states within the framework of the security organization in the field of nuclear policy.
