Grönland Başbakanı Nielsen: Trump "ilhak" fikrinden vazgeçmiş
Grönland Başbakanı Jens-Frederik Nielsen, ABD Başkanı Donald Trump'ın adayı ilhak etme fikrinden vazgeçtiğinin kendilerine söylendiğini belirtti. Nielsen, buna rağmen baskıların sürdüğünü belirtti. Grönland Başbakanı Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Fransa'da katıldığı Aix-en-Provence Ekonomi Forumu'nda ülkesinin üzerindeki uluslararası baskılardan ve ABD ile aralarında geçen son görüşmelerden bahsetti. Adanın jeopolitik konumu yüzünden iki yıldır resmen abluka altında olduklarını ve bu durumun artık can sıktığını belirten Nielsen, üç gün önce ABD'li bir yetkilinin kendilerine ulaştığını söyledi: “Üç gün önce ABD'nin Grönland Özel Temsilcisi, bize Donald Trump'ın Grönland'ı ilhak etme fikrinden vazgeçtiğini söyledi ancak baskı hala burada." Bu zor dönemde Fransa ve Avrupa Birliği’nin arkalarında durduğunu da sözlerine ekleyen Başbakan, Grönland olarak AB, Fransa, İskandinav ülkeleri, Danimarka ve NATO çizgisine sadık kalıp onlarla birlikte hareket edeceklerini net bir şekilde dile getirdi. ABD'YE NET MESAJ Grönland'ın daima AB'nin yanında olacağını kaydeden Nielsen, “Grönland, Fransa ile Nordik ülkeleri, Danimarka ve NATO'nun yanında olmak istiyor. Grönland, kendi kaderini tayin etme hakkından asla vazgeçmeyecek, asla ilkelerimizden vazgeçmeyeceğiz ve satılık değiliz.” değerlendirmesini yaptı. Nielsen, baskıların henüz sona ermediğini fakat ABD ile Grönland arasında doğrudan diyalog kurarak önlemler almaya çalıştıklarını söyledi. Dünyanın değişim sürecinden geçtiğini, bulundukları bölgede güvenliği sağlamak istediklerini ifade eden Nielsen, “Demokrasinin yanı sıra uluslararası hukuka ve insan haklarına saygı gibi ilkelere sahip ülkelerle ortaklıklar geliştirmek istiyoruz.” açıklamasında bulundu. ANKARA'DAKİ ZİRVEDE KONU TEKRAR GÜNDEME GELEBİLİR Öte yandan bu hafta Ankara'da gerçekleştirilecek olan 36. NATO Zirvesi'nde, daha önce Grönland konusunu NATO ile görüştüklerini ifade eden Donald Trump'ın bu meseleyi yeniden masaya getirmesi bekleniyor. Trump'ın zirvede konuyu tekrar açma ihtimali, adanın stratejik geleceğine dair tartışmaları şimdiden hareketlendirmiş durumda.
Grönland Başbakanı: Trump ilhak fikrinden vazgeçti ancak baskı sürüyorGrönland Başbakanı açıkladı: Trump ülkemizi ele geçirmekten vazgeçti
Fransa'nın güneyindeki Aix-en-Provence kentinde dün başlayan "Aix-en-Provence Ekonomi Forumu" devam ederken Grönland Başbakanı Nielsen ve Fransa Dışişleri Bakanı Jean-Noel Barrot, forum kapsamında düzenlenen "Bir dünya, birçok görüş: kim kendi görüşünü dayatıyor?" başlıklı oturumda konuştu. Nielsen, konuşmasına, Fransa'da havanın çok sıcak olduğunu söyleyerek başladı. Trump'ın Grönland'ı ele geçirme isteğinin hala geçerli olup olmadığına ilişkin Nielsen, "Stratejik bir bölgede olduğumuz için Grönland'da 2 yıldır çok ciddi baskılara maruz kalıyoruz. Bunlar, kabul edilemez baskılar." dedi. Nielsen, bu baskıların henüz sonunu göremediklerini ancak ABD ve Grönland arasında doğrudan diyalog kurarak önlemler almaya çalıştıklarını aktararak dünyanın değişim sürecinden geçtiğini gözlemlediğini dile getirdi. Bulundukları bölgede güvenliği sağlamak istediklerini vurgulayan Nielsen, demokrasinin yanı sıra uluslararası hukuka ve insan haklarına saygı gibi ilkelere sahip ülkelerle ortaklıklar geliştirmek istediklerinin altını çizdi. Nielsen, bu "kriz" kapsamında Fransa ve Avrupa Birliği'nin (AB) kendilerine destek sağladığını belirterek "Üç gün önce ABD'nin Grönland Özel Temsilcisi, bize Donald Trump'ın Grönland'ı ilhak etme fikrinden vazgeçtiğini söyledi ancak baskı hala burada." ifadelerini kullandı. "GRÖNLAND, KENDİ KADERİNİ TAYİN ETME HAKKINDAN ASLA VAZGEÇMEYECEK" Grönland'ın daima AB'nin yanında olacağını söyleyen Nielsen, "Grönland, Fransa ile Nordik ülkeleri, Danimarka ve NATO'nun yanında olmak istiyor." dedi. Nielsen, Kanada'yla da yakınlaşmaları gerektiğine ve bu durumdan herkesin fayda sağlayacağına işaret ederek Grönland'ın Avrupa ülkelerinin madencilik faaliyetleri konusunda Çin'e daha az bağımlı olmasını sağlayabileceğini belirtti. Grönland Başbakanı Nielsen, "Grönland, kendi kaderini tayin etme hakkından asla vazgeçmeyecek, asla ilkelerimizden vazgeçmeyeceğiz ve satılık değiliz." değerlendirmesinde bulundu. "GRÖNLAND HALKI, AVRUPA'YI, NATO'YU SEÇTİ" Fransız Dışişleri Bakanı Barrot ise "Amerika'nın devasa ve emperyalist baskısı altında, Jens Frederik Nielsen ayağa kalkarak 'Hayır' dedi. Grönland halkı, Avrupa'yı, NATO'yu seçti. (Grönland) Satılık değil, alınabilecek bir şey değil." ifadelerini kullandı. Barrot, Nielsen'in bu konuda inanılmaz cesaretli davrandığını kaydetti.
Grönland Başbakanı: Trump ülkemizi ele geçirme fikrinden vazgeçtiWhat are some of the key challenges Nato is facing ahead of the summit in Ankara?
North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) leaders gathering for a summit in Ankara on July 7-8 will discuss a host of challenges facing the alliance, from Europe taking on more responsibility for the continent’s security to boosting defence industrial production. Some officials worry the Middle East conflict could overshadow the gathering, but hope leaders will remain focused on the alliance’s core business: defence and deterrence. Here is a look at the main challenges Nato is facing. Keeping Trump in Nato officials say one of their primary goals is to maintain unity and keep the US committed to the alliance’s Article 5 clause, which specifies that an attack on one of its members is an attack on all. The alliance faced two crises this year, which have fuelled tension in the transatlantic relationship: US President Donald Trump’s demands for ownership of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Nato-member Denmark, and his anger at Nato allies over their response to the war on Iran. The US president branded the alliance a “paper tiger” and said he was considering withdrawing from Nato. The alliance’s secretary general, Mark Rutte, has sought to smooth over tensions, using a mix of flattery and data to persuade Trump that European Nato members are fulfilling their promises. Burden-shifting The Trump administration has pushed European governments to take on primary responsibility for the conventional defence of Europe as Washington seeks to dedicate more resources to the Indo-Pacific. Some changes are already underway: Washington has decided to shrink the pool of US military capabilities available to Nato in a crisis, and European Nato members have filled almost all the gaps. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has also announced a new review of America’s troop deployments in Europe and threatened to withhold some US dues to Nato if “free-riding” allies did not meet their defence spending commitments. European officials say they are working to step up on defence. But some have also questioned the US approach, arguing that a transition requires time and raising concern about the unpredictability of policy coming from Washington. Spending more European Nato members and Canada are under significant pressure to boost defence investment, both to improve deterrence and defence against Russia and to demonstrate to Trump that they are taking his demands for burden-shifting seriously. At a summit in the Hague last year, Nato leaders backed the big increase in defence spending that Trump demanded, pledging to spend five per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) on defence and defence-related measures within a decade. Countries pledged to spend 3.5pc of GDP on core defence such as troops and weapons and 1.5pc on broader defence-related measures. Nato’s European allies and Canada increased defence spending by 20pc in 2025 compared with the previous year in real terms, according to alliance data. But not everyone is on a trajectory to meet the new goals, and a number of governments are starting to run into political difficulties with defence spending. Industry With European Nato countries boosting defence investment, a major challenge for the alliance is how to turn money into new military capabilities in a short timeframe. In Ankara, Nato members are expected to announce tens of billions of dollars in new contracts. But some officials have expressed frustration that production has not increased at the pace they had hoped and that it still takes years to get some orders. Nato’s leadership has called on industry to work together, open new production lines and deliver more quickly. Deterring Russia Nato leaders meeting in Ankara are expected to reiterate that Russia poses a long-term threat to Euro-Atlantic security. While alliance officials say Russia is grappling with significant economic problems and Ukraine has strengthened its position, Rutte has cautioned that nearly half of Russia’s state budget is now dedicated to defence and that the alliance cannot be naive about Moscow. Ukraine European Nato members are continuing to finance aid for Kyiv, more than four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion. Money is channelled in various ways, including bilateral assistance, a European Union loan and the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List initiative where European countries pay to supply Ukraine with US weapons. While most European leaders say they are committed to continuing to support Kyiv, sustaining a high level of funding remains a challenge amid other demands on national budgets and concern in some capitals that some European governments are contributing disproportionately more than others.

ABD-İran Müzakereleri Petrolü Düşürdü, Nükleer Düğüm ÇözülemediUNSC warned of threat to two-state solution
UNITED NATIONS: The UN Security Council on Monday heard renewed calls to halt Israeli settlement expansion in the occupied Palestinian territories, as delegates warned that escalating violence and continuous land seizures are rapidly dismantling the prospects for a two-state solution. Briefing the UNSC, Deputy UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Ramiz Alakbarov highlighted deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Gaza and surging tensions across the West Bank. The session reviewed the Secretary-General’s latest report on Resolution 2334, which reaffirms that Israeli settlements in territories occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, constitute a “flagrant violation” of international law with “no legal validity.” Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad told the Security Council that the recent developments reflect a “systemic pattern” rather than isolated incidents. The occupied West Bank is experiencing “the largest and deadliest wave” of settlement expansion in recent history, he said while citing the advancement or approval of 4,750 housing units and a cabinet decision approving 34 settlements. He criticised Israel’s new online land registration system in Area C, warning it facilitates the dispossession of Palestinian property, while the E-1 settlement project threatens to fragment the West Bank into isolated enclaves. Turning to Gaza, Ambassador Ahmad warned that despite a ceasefire and the Trump-led “Board of Peace”, humanitarian conditions remain catastrophic, with over 90pc population facing widespread hunger, acute water shortages, and disease. In a joint statement ahead of the UN Security Council meeting on the West Bank, five European members, France, Britain, Greece, Latvia and Denmark, condemned the settlement activity and demanded Israeli government to end its expansion of settlements. Also, UN chief Antonio Guterres condemned the “relentless” expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, saying in a report seen on Monday they are contributing to the territory’s worst displacement crisis since 1967.  The secretary general, in a quarterly report on the West Bank, said an increase in settler outposts was leading to an upsurge in violence and restricting Palestinians’ access to their land. He specifically warned against Israeli plans to develop in the so-called E1 area of the West Bank, saying it would have severe consequences for the territorial contiguity of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and present an existential threat to the two-state solution.

Europe swelters under record heat
Tens of millions of people are enduring extreme temperatures across Europe as a deadly heatwave pushes eastward. Scientists say a heatwave of this intensity so early in the summer would have been virtually impossible without human-caused climate change. Switzerland has broken its record for the hottest June day for the third consecutive day, while two nuclear reactors were taken offline after the Aare River became too warm to cool them. Denmark also recorded its highest temperature on record on Saturday, and Spain has reported 327 heat-related deaths this week.

153 states back move to tackle crimes against UN peacekeepers
WASHINGTON: The UN Security Council on Tuesday unanimously adopted a Pakistan- and Denmark-sponsored resolution to strengthen accountability for crimes committed against United Nations peacekeepers, following weeks of negotiations, and with the backing of a record 153 UN member states. The resolution, adopted by all 15 members of the Security Council, condemns attacks against UN peacekeepers, underscores that such attacks may constitute war crimes, and calls on governments to promptly investigate and prosecute those responsible. It also seeks stronger cooperation between host countries, the United Nations and troop-contributing nations to end impunity for attacks on peacekeeping personnel. Pakistan is one of the world’s largest and longest-serving contributors to UN peacekeeping operations. More than 183 Pakistani peacekeepers have lost their lives while serving under the UN flag, giving Islamabad a leading role in efforts to strengthen the protection of peacekeepers and ensure accountability for attacks against them. The 153 co-sponsors represent the highest level of support ever received by a UNSC resolution. Pakistan-led resolution aims at strengthening accountability for crimes against peacekeeping forces While only the 15 Security Council members can cast a vote to adopt a resolution, non-Council members can formally co-sponsor the text before it is voted on. Once a draft is finalised, it is often circulated to the wider UN membership for additional co-sponsors before the formal vote takes place. Introducing the resolution, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, thanked Council members “for the consensual adoption of Resolution 2823 on Accountability for Crimes Against Peacekeepers” and praised Denmark for “our strong partnership as the Council’s ‘peacekeeping duo’.” He also expressed “deep appreciation and profound thanks” to the 153 member states that co-sponsored the measure, saying the record support “sends a strong and unambiguous message of support for UN peacekeeping.” “The Council stands solidly and resolutely behind the peacekeepers that are serving the cause of international peace under its mandates,” Ambassador Asim said. “There will be no impunity for attacks against UN peacekeepers and the perpetrators of such crimes will be held to account.” Pakistan and Denmark, which made peacekeeping a shared priority during their 2025-2026 terms on the UNSC, drafted the resolution amid growing concern over attacks on UN personnel, including the increasing use of drones and other sophisticated weapons in conflict zones. The resolution recognises the need for immediate action to address attacks on UN personnel and facilities, stressing that accountability is essential to deter future violence and ensure the safety of peacekeeping operations. It calls on all relevant stakeholders to cooperate with the United Nations in identifying, investigating and prosecuting perpetrators without delay while reaffirming that host states bear the primary responsibility for ensuring the safety of peacekeepers and bringing attackers to justice. Negotiations on the text lasted nearly a month. A proposal that would have authorised UN peacekeeping missions to conduct investigations into attacks was revised after concerns from several UNSC members over host-state sovereignty. The final text instead asks missions to establish prompt factual records of incidents to support national investigations. Another proposal to create a Special Envoy on Accountability for Crimes Against Peacekeepers was also dropped during negotiations. Instead, Secretary-General António Guterres will designate an existing senior UN official to coordinate efforts to strengthen accountability. The resolution requests the secretary-general to submit an initial report within 120 days outlining options for improving accountability, followed by annual reports. Describing the resolution as a tribute to peacekeepers serving around the world, Ambassador Asim said, “Accountability is essential for justice, deterrence, and the safety and security of all Blue Helmets, and the Security Council will make sure that it is delivered. This important resolution signifies our highest tribute to all peacekeepers serving under the UN flag.” Published in Dawn, June 24th, 2026

June 23 (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council on Tuesday adopted a resolution aimed at strengthening accountability for attacks on U.N. peacekeepers, amid concern over rising violence and low prosecution rates. The move follows a series of deadly incidents targeting U.N. personnel, including the killing of seven peacekeepers serving with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon after a fresh round of fighting broke out between Israel and Hezbollah in early March. The resolution, drafted by Denmark and Pakistan and co-sponsored by 152 countries, passed unanimously.
BM Güvenlik Konseyi barış güçlerine saldırılarda hesap verebilirliği güçlendirme kararı aldıGovt urged to integrate climate strategies into budgetary planning
ISLAMABAD: Parliamentarians and policy experts on Monday urged the government to immediately integrate climate strategies into national budgetary planning to counter risks crippling Pakistan’s economic growth and food security. Speaking at a parliamentary consultation on ‘Mainstreaming climate considerations in Pakistan’s economic and budgetary planning’, they warned that environmental shocks threaten to permanently erase development gains unless green budgeting tools are adopted. The consultation was organised by Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) and the embassy of Denmark. Danish Ambassador to Pakistan Maja Mortensen said climate and environmental concerns could no longer be addressed in isolation and must become part of mainstream economic and political decision-making. “The diagnosis of the problem already exists; the challenge now is how to translate it into policy action,” she said, describing the consultation as timely in the wake of the federal budget process. She said climate resilience and economic development are complementary rather than competing objectives. She also offered Danish experience and technical cooperation in integrating climate priorities into development planning. SDPI Executive Director Dr Abid Qaiyum Suleri said climate considerations must be reflected in both federal and provincial finance bills, as Pakistan’s budget framework is being shaped under the International Monetary Fund’s Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) programmes. The IMF-supported reforms had encouraged greater allocations for disaster risk reduction, water conservation and renewable energy projects, he said, adding some of these commitments had already been reflected in federal and provincial budgets. Dr Suleri, however, warned that climate finance was shrinking globally and nationally despite rising climate-related challenges. PPP MNA Mirza Ikhtiar Baig said Pakistan remained among the countries most affected by climate change despite contributing minimally to global emissions. Referring to the aftermath of the 2022 floods, he regretted that much of the international financial support pledged for reconstruction had not been materialised so far. He noted that Pakistan had secured access to climate-related financing under the IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Facility. PPP MNA Asad Alam Niazi said climate change had emerged as a national security challenge and there was still inadequate public awareness about its economic and social consequences. He noted that erratic weather patterns and climate-induced disasters were affecting agriculture, livelihoods and economic productivity, while government allocations for climate action remained insufficient. SDPI Deputy Executive Director (Research) Dr Sajid Amin Javed said climate change is causing annual losses equivalent to around 1.53 per cent of global GDP which could rise dramatically in coming decades if mitigation and adaptation measures were delayed. “Climate change should not be treated as a separate budgetary tag; it must become a core pillar of fiscal and economic planning,” he said, adding that employment, poverty, inequality, food security and economic growth were now directly linked with climate resilience. Head of SDPI’s Energy Unit Engineer Ubaidur Rehman Zia highlighted the importance of embedding climate considerations into fiscal and economic planning. SDPI’s Head of Ecological Sustainability and Circular Economy Zainab Naeem said climate-related allocations in the federal budget 2026-27 had declined by around 70 per cent compared to the previous year. She noted that while approximately Rs2,026 billion had been tagged as green-linked revenues, significant gaps remained in climate finance accountability and reporting mechanisms. Former Managing Director of the Private Power and Infrastructure Board (PPIB) Shah Jahan Mirza observed that the petroleum development levy had increasingly become a tool for managing budget deficits. He urged regulators to formulate climate risk guidelines and called for a shift from reactive responses toward proactive planning and budgetary allocations for climate adaptation.

Denmark and Germany Launch Europe’s First Hydrogen Superhighway
For the past few years, hydrogen has suffered from a credibility problem. Not because the technology itself stopped making sense, but because expectations ran too far ahead of reality. Governments announced hydrogen strategies worth hundreds of billions of euros. Companies unveiled ambitious projects stretching from Portugal to Poland. Analysts forecast a future hydrogen economy that would decarbonize everything from steel and chemicals to shipping and aviation. Then came the inevitable correction. Costs remained higher than expected. Financing…

NPT Review Conference Falls at Last Hurdle
NPT Review Conference Falls at Last Hurdle Tue, 06/16/2026 - 14:00 June 16, 2026 The April 28-May 22 nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference failed to adopt a final consensus document on May 22 after conference president Ambassador Do Hung Viet withheld the final document for debate due to unresolvable disagreements over how to address Iran’s nuclear program and the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. This marks the third straight failure of the NPT review process. The conference, which takes place every five years, involved some 130 states-parties. The review conferences aim to review NPT commitments, reaffirm support for the treaty, and create a concrete action plan for the next five years. The conference took place during a time when each of the three pillars of the NPT – nonproliferation, disarmament, and the peaceful use of nuclear energy – are under severe strain. Viet said at a news conference May 22 that, “No one [state] blocked consensus because I realized there was not consensus, and so I did not put the document forward.” The exchanges at the conference also revealed the discord among the nuclear five on how and whether to reduce nuclear risks and nuclear arsenals. The U.S. delegation sought to focus attention on China’s nuclear buildup and said it had proposed “multilateral strategic stability talks” on “transparency, risk reduction, and nuclear testing.” China and Russia expressed regret that the United States had failed to take up opportunities to negotiate a follow-on to the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which expired in February. They urged Washington to actively consider Moscow’s proposal to respect that treaty’s numerical limits for one more year and explore a follow-on agreement “in a responsible manner.” On April 29, China’s director-general for disarmament, Sun Xiaobo stated that “China has no interest in [strategic stability talks],” because China views the proposed talks as a way for the United States “to shift the responsibility for nuclear disarmament to other countries.” After the conference, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov also rejected the premise of the talks, stating, “the conditions for launching a substantive, equitable, and mutually acceptable strategic dialogue, which could include a discussion of arms control, are currently fundamentally lacking.” Later this month, Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Arms Control and Nonproliferation Christopher Yeaw, who appeared at the review conference to briefly lead the U.S. NPT delegation, will testify June 30 before the House Foreign Affairs Committee Europe subcommittee to discuss U.S. plans for “Arms Control and Nonproliferation in an Era of Great Power Competition.” –LIBBY FLATOFF, XIAODON LIANG, and MIA CLARKE For more on the outcome of the NPT Review Conference, see this month’s ACT news report: “2026 NPT Review Conference Stymied by Disputes.” NPT President Viet: NPT Failure “Not Surprising” Addressing the Arms Control Association’s Annual Meeting on June 2, Vietnamese Ambassador Do Hung Viet, the president of the 2026 nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference, said the inability of states-parties to reach consensus was “disappointing, but it was not surprising.” Viet addressed the annual meeting by live video, days after completing duties as president of the review conference, to share his reflections on the third consecutive failure by states-parties to agree on a final document. Viet called for a broadening of the international understanding of “risk” as a necessary next step. He suggested that the “growing attractiveness” of nuclear weapons and nuclear deterrence have placed pressure on key norms, seriously affecting nuclear risk reduction efforts. Expressing cautious optimism, the ambassador shared his belief that “common ground has narrowed but has remained,” and that the NPT remains a foundation for peace and security even in the face of new challenges. He also stressed the importance of sustained dialogue among the nuclear weapons states to navigate new disagreements, conflicts, and challenges. Viet concluded by emphasizing that “a safer future will not emerge automatically,” and that today’s efforts to reduce nuclear risks and increase cooperation will profoundly shape the future security environment. A full video recording of the Arms Control Association Annual Meeting, including Ambassador Viet’s remarks, is available online. Trump Claims “Denuclearization” Proposal Presented to China U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters May 15 that he had discussed “denuclearization” with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, during a May 14-15 state visit. Although Trump received “a very positive response,” the Chinese side made no commitments on the subject, according to the president. Trump noted that he would meet Xi three more times in 2026, suggesting the president hopes for a resumption of talks on the strategic nuclear relationship later this year.

SIPRI: Deployed Weapons and Stockpiles Grow The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) released June 8 its 2026 annual yearbook on disarmament, including a detailed assessment of the forces, doctrines, and modernization efforts of the nuclear-armed states. The assessment, which draws on the open-source research of the Federation of American Scientists, concludes that the “world’s nuclear arsenals expanded and upgraded” during 2025, according to a press release. Although the total inventory of nuclear forces around the world likely declined due to the dismantlement and retirement of older warheads, the size of active stockpiles and the number of deployed warheads increased in 2025. Additionally, all nuclear-armed states are believed to be conducting modernization or upgrade programs to various degrees. The most notable changes occurred in China and India. China has pursued advances in missile defense and launch-on-warning systems, and has begun deploying some missiles at heightened levels of readiness in silos. Additionally, China’s number of deployed missiles increased by between 24 and 34 between January 2025 and 2026. Coupled with new deployments of warheads on missiles with mobile battalions and near-constant SSBN deterrence patrols, these changes may signal China’s transition away from the strictest interpretation of a “no-first use” policy and toward an “early warning counter strike strategy” as it seeks to reinforce its second-strike capability. India appears to have changed its policy of storing warheads and missiles separately and has begun loading missiles in canisters and deploying warheads on an SSBN conducting deterrence patrols. SIPRI reported that in January 2025 India was believed to have no warheads regularly deployed on missiles, but by January 2026, it had twelve. In conjunction with the May 2025 conflict between India and Pakistan, which included conventional strikes on Pakistani sites housing components of Islamabad’s nuclear weapons program, this policy change may indicate increased escalation risks within the region. The yearbook also details a growing coordination and collaboration between the UK and France. Both countries are seeking to supplement and stabilize deterrence of the perceived risk of Russian aggression as the Trump administration’s anti-NATO rhetoric has intensified. Looking forward, the yearbook predicts that increases in stockpiles and deployed weapons, as well as decreases in transparency and data-sharing, will continue. France Talks Nuclear Planning with Allies With the addition of Norway and Finland, the number of NATO countries that are consulting with Paris on supporting French nuclear forces in contingencies has increased to ten. The dialogues follow the announcement in March by French President Emmanuel Macron of a new strategy of “forward” deterrence that could allow for the temporary deployment of nuclear strike aircraft outside of France. Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Poland, and Sweden have also expressed an intention to discuss cooperation with France. Norway’s involvement in the scheme advanced May 27 with the signing of a mutual defense agreement with France and the announcement of further consultations on participation in a “process to determine how France’s nuclear weapons can contribute to security and deterrence in Europe,” according to a Norwegian government press release. Finland’s involvement remains at a preliminary stage, with Prime Minister Petteri Orpo informing Finnish news agency STT on June 4 that Macron’s government had transferred further details regarding the proposed arrangement, which is now under discussion in Helsinki. The shift in French policy responds to perceptions in Europe of a weakened U.S. commitment to the defense of the continent. The Financial Times reported June 2 that the United States has held talks through NATO channels with several states on potentially hosting U.S. nuclear weapons under an expansion of the existing NATO nuclear sharing arrangement. The newspaper reported that sources indicate the talks were intended to demonstrate a willingness to provide a greater nuclear commitment to Europe while Washington draws down conventional forces. U.S. to Return Intermediate-Range System to Japan Japan will host U.S. intermediate-range ground-launched missiles for military exercises in June, the Japanese newswire Kyodo News reported May 21. A ground-launched Tomahawk cruise missile unit will deploy to Kanoya Airbase in Kagoshima prefecture, southwestern Japan, as part of the Valiant Shield and Orient Shield joint exercises, the newswire reported. This marks the second deployment of the Typhon mid-range capability system to Japan after a unit participated in exercises last September. Although the report said that the missiles and launchers would remain in storage in Japan following the exercises, the Russian news agency TASS reported May 22 that the Japanese Embassy in Moscow had informed press the unit would be gone “by mid-October.” The Russian government criticized the move as “seriously detrimental” to the “stability and security of the Asia-Pacific region.” The missile unit is intended to contribute to long-range land- and maritime-attack capabilities of U.S. military forces in the Asia-Pacific, mirroring similar long-range conventional weapons in the Chinese arsenal. A Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson described the Tomahawk ground-launcher as “a strategic offensive weapon [that] will harm the legitimate security interests of other countries,” at a May 22 press conference. Comment Period on U.S. Plutonium Pit Production Plan Closes July 15 The Department of Energy’s semi-autonomous National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) will continue receiving written public comments on its draft programmatic environmental impact statement for plans to expand plutonium pit production until July 15. The agency invites comments from state and local governments, public interest groups, businesses, and individual members of the public. The draft programmatic environmental impact statement assesses the likely consequences of three production alternatives, none of which include no expansion of plutonium pit production capacity. The draft ultimately endorses the NNSA’s plans to produce 80 pits per year at Los Alamos National Laboratories and the Savannah River Site, as mandated by Congress. Vatican Calls for Nuclear Disarmament, Limits on Autonomous Weapons In a major May 15 theological statement, the Catholic Church called for limits on autonomous weapons and decried the “erroneous belief that nuclear deterrence is an indispensable prerequisite for security.” The statement, an encyclical promulgated by Pope Leo XIV, comes after months of rhetorical clashes with the White House over the church’s promotion of peace and disarmament. The encyclical primarily addresses the implications of artificial intelligence technologies, but also touches on other peace and security issues. In a brief section on nuclear weapons, it criticizes the belief that lower-yield “miniaturized” nuclear weapons can be “a more viable option” for use in warfare. It laments that a shared “recognition of the threat posed by weapons capable of destroying all of humanity” has been “left behind,” contributing to a new arms race. The encyclical also acknowledges the 2021 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, but notes that major nuclear powers have not acceded to the treaty. The new theological statement calls for accountability built into and responsible human control over autonomous weapons, as well as an international regime to “curb the technological arms race and ensure robust protection for civilians and the infrastructures necessary for their survival.” For further coverage of the Papal encyclical, please look forward to the July/August edition of Arms Control Today.

Official celebrations in Copenhagen for the Queen Margrethe II Bridge
(ANSA) - ROMA, 09 GIU - Following the opening to traffic last April, official celebrations for the new Storstrømmen Bridge, named after Queen Margrethe II, were held in Copenhagen in the presence of Crown Prince Christian and Minister of Transport Signe Munk. It is the third-longest bridge in all of Denmark, vital for Danish mobility and strategic for European road and rail corridors, a testament to Italian expertise. The new infrastructure bears the signature of the company Itinera, which successfully combined cutting-edge engineering and technical expertise to realize this ambitious project. Part of the rail corridor between Scandinavia and Germany, the bridge will be further enhanced by the future Fehmarnbelt Undersea Tunnel, strengthening mobility, territorial continuity, and economic integration between the countries of Northern Europe and the continent. The construction of the project is the result of an extraordinary effort: over 1,400 skilled workers of 38 different nationalities, the involvement of world-class engineering firms, and a complex land-sea logistics operation, including the use of exceptional equipment such as the Hebo 9 floating crane. Also present at the celebrations were Ambassador Giuliana Del Papa, Itinera President Gianni Luciani, and CEO Luciano Giovanni Reguzzo, along with Danish institutional representatives, including the Director of the Danish Road Directorate and the Mayors of Guldborgsund and Vordingborg.

Amb. Del Papa, 'On June 2, Italy chose a future of freedom'
(ANSA) - ROMA, 04 GIU - On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Republic, Italy’s Ambassador to Copenhagen, Giuliana Del Papa, addressed a message to her compatriots residing in Denmark, recalling the historical significance of the June 2, 1946 referendum and the country’s journey toward democratic growth. "Italians did not merely choose a new form of government. They responsibly chose a different future, one built on freedom and democracy, the rule of law, equality, solidarity, and international cooperation," the ambassador stated. In her remarks, Del Papa highlighted the decisive role played by women in the founding of the Republic, with 21 women joining the Constituent Assembly. The ambassador also highlighted the achievements made by Italy in the decades that followed, becoming “one of the world’s leading economies and the fourth-largest global exporter, capable of projecting genius and beauty everywhere—the true hallmark of Italy’s history.” Referring to the challenges of the current international context, Del Papa reaffirmed the relevance of the choices made in the postwar period in favor of European integration, the transatlantic alliance, and multilateralism—essential tools for addressing conflicts, instability, and inequalities. “The answers,” she said, “can only come from coordinated action with our international partners, starting with the members of the European Union.” In concluding her message, the ambassador expressed her gratitude to the Italian community in Denmark: “With over 20,000 compatriots,” she emphasized, “we have become an active community and a key player in Danish society and economy.” Read article...
