| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Changes in French nuclear weapons policy are in the air. In 2006, President Chirac proposed that France expand the purpose of nuclear deterrence beyond defending French territory to include protecting France's European allies(Euro-deterrence); securing certain vital French interests, such as oil supplies; and holding at risk states that support terrorism. |
