The French subs are nuclear powered, not nuclear armed. I don't think France has a nuclear cruise missile that can be fired from their submarines. I think it's only the tomahawks that can do that.

That's triumphant class. Not in production. Neither is the SLBM. The one that visited Halifax was sufferen class. Much smaller.

Yes, four of them. Different class of submarine. They are currently working on a replacement but it will be many years, and I doubt they would sell them.

First, the nuclear signatories agreed not to transfer either nuclear weapons or nuclear weapons technology to any other state. Second, the non-nuclear states agreed that they would not receive, develop or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons 👆👆 no transfer of nukes

Doesn’t matter if they sell them - we are signatory to the non-proliferation agreement
