BERLIN (Reuters) - NATO expects Germany to remain part of the military alliance's nuclear sharing, Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Friday, referring to U.S. nuclear bombs on German soil that can be carried by German fighter jets in case of a crisis.

"The nuclear sharing is important because it is an arrangement where NATO allies go together and provide nuclear deterrence," Stoltenberg told reporters on a visit to Berlin.
