Faced with the rising threat of Russian aggression and unpredictable American security guarantees, Europe is actively pushing to establish a continental nuclear deterrent. Led by France and the UK, and backed by nations like Germany and Poland, the continent is exploring the integration of European nuclear-sharing frameworks and expanded conventional defense capabilities.

German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, recently emphasised that Europe wants to preserve a strong and functioning NATO alliance, despite growing discord with US President Donald Trump over his decision to pull some US troops from Germany. Speaking alongside Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson on May 9, 2026, Merz highlighted that maintaining "unity of purpose" is more critical than troop numbers alone. Donald Trump's latest moves foreshadow what could be the enduring legacy of the US war on Iran.&nbsp;"We are really willing to keep this alliance alive for the future," said Merz at a press conference. "We know that there are some differences.

He read from a previously prepared script that Germany was ready to exercise military power against Iran, and he also said that “Iran must come to the negotiating table.” This comes as US President Donald Trump threatened to withdraw troops from Germany.“We are working here, and at other key locations in Germany, side-by-side with the United States and our NATO allies,” Merz said, pointing to joint training and cooperation with American forces. "This work is carried out shoulder-to-shoulder, for our mutual benefit and in a deep transatlantic partnership,” he added.In Munster, Merz avoided directly referencing Trump; however, he hinted at the remilitarisation of Germany, emphasising continuity and alignment with Washington.
