Reinhardt - UK Nuclear weapon warheads are UK designed, built and use plutonium from UK reactors. The only control the US has is the provision of replacement missile bodies and servicing since they make them.

The US has no direct control mechanism over the use of Trident Ballistic Missiles operated by the UK. It of course has in-direct control as in "Please God, don't fire one".
