Britain and France may share nuclear deterrent
Activer le mode zenJohn Lichfield and Kim Sengupta
"The possibility of a "shared" UK-French nuclear deterrent is set to be on the agenda of a summit between David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy in London this autumn.
"A politically explosive proposal for joint Franco-British nuclear-submarine patrols - an idea sunk without trace in the recent past - has been brought back to the surface by the draconian defence cuts in both countries.
"Although talks are still at a preliminary stage, officials in Paris say that the idea is one possibility for cost-saving military co-operation which is likely to be discussed by the Prime Minister and the President at the annual Franco-British summit in London in early November."
