This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday that France is “ready to contribute more to the defense of Europe.”
In an interview published in several French newspapers Macron said France’s nuclear weapons could be part of a common European defense strategy.
Macron’s remarks drew criticism from his opponents ahead of the upcoming EU elections in June.
European lawmaker Francois-Xavier Bellamy, who will lead right-wing party LR into the EU vote, described the comments as “exceptionally serious.”
Far-left French lawmaker Bastien Lachaud said France’s nuclear deterrent “cannot be shared.”
“Under the guise of defending European soil, Macron wants to liquidate France’s strategic autonomy,” Lachaud said.
