The United States is considering the possibility of deploying nuclear weapons in other European member states of NATO. American officials have indicated their readiness for additional deployments of these weapons, beyond the current six nations that host nuclear-capable bombers. This potential step involves more European countries hosting American "dual-capable" aircraft, which are capable of conducting nuclear strikes. However, an agreement to expand the scope of US nuclear weapons hosting is not imminent at present, according to circulating information. Countries located on NATO's eastern flank, such as Poland and some Baltic states, have expressed interest in hosting potential bases for these aircraft. Discussions on this matter are reportedly underway through official NATO channels. No official comment has yet been issued by the White House, the US Department of Defense, or NATO regarding these reports. It is worth noting that US President Donald Trump and many of his aides consistently criticize European allies for not spending enough on their militaries and for relying heavily on the United States for conventional defense tasks.
