Germany Calls For European “Nuclear Shield” Amid Trump’s Russia Threat To “Delinquent“ NATO Allies

Donald Trump’s suggestion that the US should abandon any NATO* ally that did not meet the alliance’s defence spending target has shaken Germany. A German minister called for the UK and France to deploy a “nuclear shield” over Europe to deter a possible Russian strike. The call for a nuclear shield comes amid fear that NATO may no longer be able to count on US support if Trump returns to the White House. The German Finance Minister said it is time to think about a European bomb in cooperation with nuclear powers, France and Britain. #russia #europe #russiaukrainewar #ukraine #putin #usa Video: AP/AFP/Reuters/Twitter 0:00 - Introduction 0:32 - Trump Threat Triggers Fear Over Weak Nuclear Deterrence in Europe 2:38 - Germany Changing Stance on Nuclear Weapons? 4:11 - Are British and French Nukes Enough to Counter Russia? 5:48 - Who Will Control Europe’s Nuclear Button? n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
