The Pentagon did not confirm or deny the deployment of American nuclear weapons on British soil.
An official from the US Department of Defense, the Pentagon, did not confirm or deny reports about Washington’s intention to deploy US nuclear weapons on British soil.
The Daily Telegraph reported in a report that a Pentagon official stated that the United States routinely updates its military equipment on the soil of friendly and allied countries. Unclassified executive budget documents often accompany such activities. These documents do not predict or express a specific situation or basic details. It is US policy not to confirm or deny the presence or absence of nuclear weapons in any particular location.
The Daily Telegraph wrote in this report: His reporters have found a name in the Pentagon documents of a plan to deploy American nuclear equipment at the Licken Heath military base in Suffolk, England. This newspaper had previously raised such a possibility.
