00:00Where do Western Europeans stand on nuclear weapons?
00:08Many European leaders feel they can no longer rely on the US nuclear commitment to Europe
00:13amid concerns of the Russian threat to the continent.
00:16However, Western European countries are still reluctant to develop their own independent
00:21nuclear deterrent.
00:22That is what a recent YouGov study found after interviewing more than 9,400 people from France,
00:29Britain, Spain, Denmark, Germany, Italy and Sweden.
00:33More than half of the Swedes are against developing and maintaining their own nuclear arsenal.
00:39This is followed by Germany at 49% and Italy at 47%.
00:43By contrast, 64% of people in France and 55% of individuals in Britain who already have
00:49their nuclear arsenals support keeping them.
00:51France held around 280 nuclear warheads in 2024.
00:56Britain has also around 225 nuclear weapons.
01:00Far less appealing to Western Europeans is allowing American nuclear weapons to be stationed
01:06in their countries.
01:07This includes Italy and Germany, which already host US nuclear arms, where 63% of Italian respondents
01:14and 59% of German respondents oppose having American nuclear weapons stationed in their country.
01:21Spain and Sweden had the highest number of people opposed to this idea at 76% and 73% respectively.
