Tthe US government objects to most any nation's pursuit of nuclear weapons. I think that the US would prefer to be the "nuclear benefactor" in our relationships with our allies. During the cold war (and presently, as well), it was common practice for US nuclear weapons to be "stationed" in western European countries as a sort of doomsday by proxy. This way, we control the nukes but still gain whatever political advantage their is in annihilating ourselves a tad bit more quickly.
I know that the thought of nukes spreading across the globe is enough to make me lose sleep, particularly they seem to be moving towards global flashpoints, such as India and Pakistan or Israel.
