PARIS, March 2 (Reuters) - France will increase the size of its nuclear arsenal and strengthen its deterrent, with an increasing risk of conflicts globally crossing the nuclear threshold, President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday.

“We are currently experiencing a period of geopolitical upheaval fraught with risk,” Macron said in a speech delivered from a submarine base in Brittany, adding that a “hardening” of the French deterrence model was needed.
