JAKARTA - French President Emmanuel Macron plans to revise France's nuclear doctrine and is scheduled to begin on Monday next week.
It is likely that in the reform, France will close joint control of nuclear weapons at the European level while still opening its contribution to allies.
For decades, Europe has lived under the umbrella of US nuclear weapons protection, which has been stationed on the continent since the mid-1950s to deter attacks by the Soviet Union, and now Russia.
However, recently, AP reported that several European politicians and defense analysts questioned whether the US power could contribute and be relied on for its allies.
They refer to US President Donald Trump's approach to Russia at war with Ukraine, and the most shaking Europe is Trump's whimsical attitude towards the attempt to annex Greenland, an autonomous region of Denmark.
After Britain left the European Union (EU), France became the only EU country with nuclear weapons. Doubts about the US under Trump's leadership, despite having a transatlantic security commitment, are very relevant for France.
