In this article BA.-GB QQ.-GB RR.-GB Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT The U.S. is said to be considering expanding its nuclear weapons-hosting capability to more European NATO member states. Six NATO member countries — the U.K., Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Turkey — currently form part of the alliance's nuclear weapons-sharing arrangements, and are approved to host U.S. dual-capable aircraft capable of deploying nuclear missiles.

"Work to assess and potentially adapt NATO's nuclear deterrence posture has been ongoing for several years and is not linked to any decision taken by the U.S. to adjust its conventional posture in Europe," the official added. Dan Coatsworth, head of markets at AJ Bell, said a larger nuclear deployment in Europe would require more dual-capable aircraft such as the F-35, which can carry both nuclear and convent...
