President Trump opposes nuclear proliferation in Eastern Europe.

According to RIA Novosti on March 14, in an interview with Fox News, commenting on President Andrzej Duda's call to deploy nuclear weapons in Poland, US Vice President JD Vance said that President Donald Trump opposes the proliferation of nuclear weapons in Eastern Europe.

"I haven't spoken specifically with the president about this, but I would be shocked if he supported further nuclear proliferation in Eastern Europe. We have to be careful; we are playing with the lives of future generations," Vice President Vance said.

Earlier, Polish President Andrzej Duda had called on Washington to move nuclear weapons from US or Western European territory to Polish territory. Duda added that he had discussed this issue with Keith Kellogg, the US President's advisor on Ukraine.

"NATO's borders shifted eastward in 1999. So 26 years later, NATO's infrastructure must also shift eastward," the Polish leader said. Duda also noted that it would take Poland decades to create its own nuclear force.

Earlier, on March 5, French President Emmanuel Macron stated that Russia was believed to have become a threat to France and Europe, and called for discussions on the use of French nuclear weapons to protect the entire EU, while noting that the US had changed its stance on Ukraine and on its leadership role in NATO.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Europe should join the arms race with Russia.

On March 13, US Senator Lindsey Graham proposed that Europe create its own nuclear deterrent against Russia by modernizing the arsenals of Britain and France and deploying tactical nuclear weapons on the continent.

“The question for Europe is: Why not create its own nuclear deterrent by upgrading the nuclear arsenals of Britain and France, strategically deploying tactical nuclear weapons across Europe?” – Senator Graham wrote on social media platform X.

According to Graham, such actions would be consistent with the policy of former US President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, who introduced land-based cruise missiles carrying nuclear warheads as a means of protecting Europe.

The proposal by the US senator came after a call from the Polish president for Washington to move nuclear weapons from US or Western European territory to Polish territory.
