I’m sure they did that because the ~10-15 nukes stored somewhere in German are of USA origin. The USA might still stored some more in their airbase in Ramstein.
Are the Rafale’s weapon mounts and system compatible with American nukes? I wouldn’t expect that.
Whether or not the Rafale can carry American nukes normally, I’m fairly confident that they could be modified to do so. Over in Ukraine, old Soviet Su-24s got modified to carry Anglo-French storm shadow missiles, and those were originally built by two groups that had way less reason to be compatible
