What to know

  • Latvia's PM announced France agreed to open negotiations on Latvia joining the French nuclear deterrence initiative, which already includes Belgium, Britain, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Sweden.
  • Macron committed to increasing French military presence in Latvia, specifically in air defense capabilities.
  • The initiative does not grant participating countries control over France's nuclear weapons but extends France's nuclear umbrella protection.

“Such a commitment will strengthen the security not only of Latvia but also of NATO's entire eastern flank.”
