France is considering launching a national loan to finance increased defense spending as budget constraints limit traditional funding options. Prime Minister Francois Bayrou and Finance Minister Eric Lombard have suggested this approach to ensure the country can meet its military commitments. Meanwhile, President Emmanuel Macron has proposed discussions on extending France’s nuclear protection to European allies, raising questions about the feasibility of such a move. These developments come as NATO faces criticism over defense spending, with former U.S. President Donald Trump warning that the U.S. may not defend members who fail to meet their commitments. The debate highlights growing security concerns in Europe amid rising global tensions.
