In order to save money, the UK and France are ready to co-manage their respective nuclear arsenals. London is planning to give over to France the maintenance of its 160 nuclear warheads on board of Trident class submarines but it will be enabled to access the secrets of the ‘Commissariat a l’Energie Atomique’, the keeper of 300 warheads of the ‘Force de Frappe’. The news is published on the first page of the Financial Times, according to which confidential negotiations are ongoing between Paris and London in view of a summit scheduled in 3 weeks’ time. If an agreement is reached, the FT writes, the two Countries will waive their right to hold an independent nuclear deterrence potential.
