Britain and France will join together to use nuclear weapons against any “extreme threats” towards Europe, Sir Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron have declared. A newly-signed declaration by the leaders will state that the two countries’ nuclear deterrents are independent but can be co-ordinated in a joint attack on Europe’s enemies.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will host French President Emmanuel Macron for lunch at Downing Street on the second day of a state visit on Wednesday, with the pair poised to discuss subjects like immigration and Ukraine.
Macron’s three-day visit, at the invitation of King Charles III, is the first state visit to the UK by a European Union head of state since Brexit.
