Financing Collaboration for Nuclear Arsenals in France and the UK, According to Spahn

In a move that has sparked controversy and criticism within the German political landscape, Jens Spahn, the chairman of the CDU/CSU faction in the German Bundestag and the president of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, has proposed financial support for France and Britain's nuclear weapon arsenals, should Germany reach a nuclear sharing agreement with Paris and London.

This proposal, which does not necessarily reflect the official position of the German government, is similar to the one Germany already has with the USA regarding nuclear sharing. However, it does not specify the amount of financial support or the terms of the potential agreement with France and Britain.

The proposal has been met with debate and discussion, with concerns raised about its potential impact on Germany's relations with its European neighbours, as well as its implications for Germany's nuclear policy.

It is important to note that the proposal has not been approved by the German Bundestag, the federal parliament of Germany, and its future remains uncertain.

The suggestion by Jens Spahn comes at a time when the idea of a nuclear sharing agreement between Germany, France, and Britain is being considered, though the details are yet to be fully understood and debated. The proposal's potential financial support for French and British nuclear weapon arsenals under a potential nuclear sharing agreement is a significant point of discussion.

The proposal's validity and potential consequences continue to be debated among German politicians and the public. As the situation unfolds, it is crucial to monitor developments closely and consider the potential implications for Germany, France, and Britain.
