In November 2022, the Air Force updated its safety rules for airlift of nuclear weapons to allow the C-17A Globemaster III aircraft to transport the new B61-12 nuclear bomb.
The update, accompanied by training and certification of the aircraft and crews, cleared the C-17A to transport the newest U.S. nuclear weapon to bases in the United States and Europe.

If the U.S. isn’t careful they’re going to have another Cuban missile crisis on their doorstep.
European nations are, at some point, going to have to negotiate with Russia in order to get reasonably priced energy and other commodities. One of Russia’s bottom line demands will be the removal of American bases and nuclear weapons. It is certain that the Europeans will acquiesce.
