This growing support comes as discussions led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz aim to collaborate with the UK and France on a joint nuclear strategy, reducing reliance on US military assurances. The desire for an independent nuclear capability reflects widespread concerns regarding US foreign policy under President Trump. Notably, the support for this initiative crosses demographic and political boundaries, with varied support levels among different political party supporters.
