He made his statement as NATO members are growing increasingly worried that the United States under President Donald Trump would not come to their defense.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Germany\u2019s chancellor-designate, Friedrich Merz, suggested that Britain and France could extend their nuclear protection to Germany, given the tensions between Russia and NATO over Ukraine. Such offers had <em>\u201calways remained unanswered,\u201d<\/em> he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a speech on Wednesday evening, Macron said that he was open to extending his country\u2019s nuclear umbrella. <em>\u201cIn response to the historic appeal by the future German chancellor, I have decided to open a strategic debate on protecting our allies on the European continent through a nuclear deterrent,\u201d<\/em> he said, according to RFI.<\/p>\n<p>The president said that people in France were <em>\u201clegitimately worried\u201d<\/em> about the <em>\u201cnew era\u201d<\/em> under Trump. <em>\u201cI want to believe that the United States will stay by our side, but we have to be prepared for that not to be the case,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, who was elected on the slogan <em>\u201cAmerica first,\u201d<\/em> has demanded that European allies contribute more to their own defense. He further broke with many NATO countries by refusing to unconditionally back Ukraine against Russia and instead opted to launch direct talks with Moscow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n        <span><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<figure>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mf.b37mrtl.ru\/files\/2025.03\/thumbnail\/67c5f67685f54031de368d9b.jpg\" alt=\"RT\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/613629-face-of-western-europes-submission\/\">How Macron became the face of Western Europe\u2019s submission<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump\u2019s drastic departure from the policies of his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, prompted America\u2019s allies in Europe to question whether they could rely on Washington for their defense. <em>\u201cEurope faces a clear and present danger on a scale that none of us has seen in our adult lifetime,\u201d<\/em> European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wrote in a letter to the bloc\u2019s member states on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The US president has stressed that it was his priority to broker a ceasefire between Moscow and Kiev and to prevent the conflict from spiraling into a full-scale war between nuclear powers.
