Dutch F-35s may have nuclear role

Dutch defense minister Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert and foreign affairs minister Frans Timmermans have ignored lawmakers’ request to keep nuclear role out of the Dutch F-35As duties.

A majority of MPs last year supported a motion to keep Dutch F-35 nuclear free but both ministers have decided to set aside the motion.
