Latika Takes interviews NATO's Director of Nuclear Policy Jim Stokes
Update: 2025-07-20
Description
In this episode, Jim Stokes, NATO’s Director of Nuclear Policy, joins Latika Bourke from the recent GLOBSEC Forum security conference in Prague.
They discuss how NATO is strengthening the nuclear deterrent, how it would be used in the event of a war, China’s nuclear build-up and if US President Donald Trump is undermining Article 5.
Latika Bourke quizzes Jim Stokes about whether more nuclear-armed states are on the way and what non-NATO but partner countries like Australia should do as China builds up its nuclear arsenal.
