The U.S. has come up with an idea to reassure Europe: instead of soldiers, it will bring its nuclear weapons very close to Russia

The United States is weighing an expansion of its nuclear presence in Europe rather than adding more conventional troops.

The move could widen NATO’s existing nuclear-sharing program, with Poland showing interest in joining.

The goal is to offset fewer U.S. forces and keep NATO’s deterrence against Russia credible.

The discussion is meant to reassure allies and ease fears of a U.S. pullback from Europe.
