The ‘Trump Effect’ is getting more and more in Europe wanting nuclear weapons. Notice the following:

Germany’s Merz Wants European Nuclear Weapons to Boost US Shield

9 March 2025

German Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz on Sunday said he would like talks with France and Britain about sharing their nuclear weapons, but not as a substitute for U.S. nuclear protection of Europe.

“Sharing nuclear weapons is an issue that we need to talk about…we have to become stronger together in nuclear deterrence,” he said in an interview on Deutschlandfunk radio, a day after agreeing cornerstones of a coalition deal between his conservative party and the Social Democratic SPD party.

“We should talk with both countries (France and Britain), always also from the perspective of supplementing the American nuclear shield, which we of course want to see maintained.”

Germany, due to its Second World War past, has bound itself to non-nuclear defense in a number of international treaties but participates in NATO weapons-sharing arrangements. …

“We want European solidarity…but Germany also naturally has a right to defend its own security and order,” he said. …

Merz said he would press for the outgoing parliament to pass two major financial packages on infrastructure and defense and changes to state borrowing rules known as the ‘debt brake’. https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/merz-nuclear/2025/03/09/id/1202051/

Probable future German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that he would like to hold talks with France and the UK on the joint use of their nuclear weapons. At the same time, he added that the nuclear umbrella of France and Britain should be a “complement” to the existing US nuclear shield.

Merz said this in an interview with Deutschlandfunk, The Guardian quoted him as saying, Censor.NET reports.

“The sharing of nuclear weapons is an issue we need to talk about… We have to become stronger together in the area of nuclear deterrence,” said the likely next German Chancellor. … The leaders of Poland and Denmark have said they are open to French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to discuss how France’s nuclear deterrent could protect Europe.

It should be pointed out that Friedrich Merz also said:

In an interview with Deutschlandfunk radio broadcaster on Sunday, Merz stressed that “Germany will not be able or allowed to possess nuclear weapons itself,” noting that Berlin is banned by law from doing so.

“The most recent [document] is the 2+4 Treaty of 1990, in which Germany explicitly renounced possessing nuclear weapons. And that will remain the case.”

However, Merz has signaled his willingness to explore greater nuclear cooperation with NATO allies, calling for discussions with Britain and France. “We must also become stronger together in nuclear coverage in Europe,” he said. https://www.rt.com/news/613942-merz-nuclear-cooperation-uk-france/

Despite limitations, having nukes from other nations looks to be a way to have them without claiming to have them. Germany also has some USA nukes at its disposal now, so the prospect of it attaining European ones is consistent with that, irrespective of what is stated in Germany’s constitution.

In a video we put out earlier this month, we cited others in Europe who wanted nuclear weapons, as well as military independence from the USA.:

European Union wants to be militarily independent of the USA – check, European Union wants a larger military – check, European Union wants nukes – check, European Union wants this for defensive purposes –will Europe acquire a great army? Will Europe defeat the Biblical King of the South? Is Europe the King of the North? Will Europe defeat the King(s) from the east? Here’s a big question – will Europe conquer the United States of America? Is the United State of America mentioned in the Bible? These are fascinating questions that will be answered in the very near future. The fact that these conflicts will occur is a certainty, as they are a prophesied fact in the Bible in the book of Daniel. But when will these conflicts occur? Daniel was told to shut up the words, they were for the time of the end. Dan 12:4: ‘But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.’ We are there. This is the time of the end. Dr. Thiel will shine the light on the answers to these questions. One answer, in particular, is sure to stun thousands.

As far as Europe and nuclear weapons go, notice a news item from last Spring:

France tests a nuclear-capable missile: “To demonstrate our deterrence”

May 23, 2024

France has carried out the first test launch of an upgraded nuclear -capable missile , the Asmpa-r, designed to be launched from a Rafale fighter. The test, carried out yesterday, comes after Russia said it had begun nuclear exercises in its southern military district. …

French Defense Minister, Sebastien Lecornu … said the exercise aimed to bolster ” the credibility of the airborne nuclear deterrent element.”  https://www-rainews-it.translate.goog/amp/articoli/2024/05/francia-effettua-test-di-un-missile-con-capacita-nucleare-per-dimostrare-la-nostra-deterrenza-il-giorno-dopo-i-test-della-russia-ac99f33e-81cf-45b3-8f7b-5e500a77efee.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en

Last Spring, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

Donald Trump, Europe, and Nuclear Weapons?

Are European leaders quite concerned about a possible second Donald Trump presidency? Have any European leaders publicly proposed developing ‘Euronukes’ because of Donald Trump? Do European leaders believe that Europe should have nuclear weapons independent from the United States of America? Does the Bible prophesy anything like nuclear destruction coming to the USA and its British-descended allies? Do biblical prophecies really point to the USA being destroyed by its European friends in places like Daniel 11:39 and Lamentations 1:1-2? Do Europeans think they need to have nukes whether or not Donald Trump gets into office again? Did the late Herbert W. Armstrong state back in 1989 that the Great Tribulation could actually begin with a nuclear attack by the coming European King of the North Beast power against cities in the USA, UK, and Canada? Are the Europeans now increasing their military spending and considering adding their own nukes? Is there hope from the coming Kingdom of God and the return of Jesus? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel address these matters.

Here is a link to our video: Donald Trump, Europe, and Nuclear Weapons?

Yes, Europe is interested in more nuclear weapons.

This is another unintended consequence of Donald Trump’s statements and policies.

Biblical prophecies will come to pass.

This will not end well for the USA (Daniel 11:39) and many others (cf. Daniel 11:40-45).
