Allies are putting pressure on US President Joe Bayiden in order to prevent Washington’s transition to nuclear weapons first, reports Financial Times.
In particular, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, France and Japan are against the abandonment of the principle of a proactive impact. In their opinion, such a measure clearly will clearly understand that the United States will apply nuclear weapons only in exceptional cases, for example, in the event of a direct threat to their security.
It is noted that Washington is reviewing its policy regarding the use of nuclear weapons that remained unchanged since the Cold War. She allowed allies in Europe and Asia to be under the so-called nuclear umbrella, that is, feel safe, based on the fact that the United States can use nuclear weapons preventive. It is expected that the discussion of the issue will end by the end of this year.
