I am sceptical of Elwood’s claims that the UK trident cache will outlast Trumps presidency. Since next generation subs and missions are in the design phase, I would hope that UK government decides to dial down dependence on US for delivery tech. I am also concerned about US ability to ground the F35B fleet since these need a software update after every mission that can only be deployed by US contractors. Hopefully Starmer will dust off plans for a Typhoon successor that has no US reliance - Japan, Italy, Germany could partner. Basically anything that can run code or needs maintenance or parts is a vector for the US to control use.
