The cost of scrapping Trident: What would Britain lose?
Debate is resurfacing over whether the United Kingdom should scrap its Trident nuclear deterrent, the submarine-based weapons system at the heart of British defence policy. Supporters argue the programme deters nuclear threats and underpins Britain's global standing, while critics say its multibillion-pound cost would be better spent on conventional forces and public services. The discussion centres on what Britain's defence and diplomatic weight would look like without it.
Why now: Ongoing debates over UK defence spending and nuclear policy are prompting renewed questions about the value of the Trident programme.
