German Defense Minister says nuclear deterrence will be provided by the US for the "foreseeable future"; Germany will support France with conventional weapons and not by participating in nuclear deterrence.

This statement underscores Berlin's reliance on U.S. nuclear capabilities, reinforcing the transatlantic security relationship while limiting its own commitments to conventional support for France. The focus on conventional arms rather than nuclear deterrence may signal a strategic posture aiming to maintain defense capabilities without escalating nuclear tensions, which could influence market sentiment towards European security assets and defense-related stocks.
