The UK Liberal Democrats are calling for a fully independent British nuclear deterrent to end reliance on the US-supplied Trident missiles. Currently, the UK controls its warheads but depends on the US for missile supply and maintenance. Davey proposes investing over the next two decades to develop domestic missile technology, potentially in two stages: first maintaining Trident at home, then producing a fully UK-made replacement. The Lib Dems cite France as a model. The Ministry of Defence emphasized that the UK’s current deterrent is secure and central to NATO commitments, but the Lib Dems argue sovereignty and national security require full domestic control.
