Original Note:
The UK has a sovereign nuclear deterrent that requires no sign off or permission from the US to use. The UK manufactures its own nuclear warheads and uses a bank of missiles shared with the US to carry them. Only the missile maintenance is done in the US. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-nuclear-deterrence-factsheet/uk-nuclear-deterrence-what-you-need-to-know https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/britain-developing-new-sovereign-nuclear-warhead/
