Trump's Russia Approach Sparks NATO Allies' Intelligence Concerns

U.S. allies are increasingly wary of sharing intelligence with Washington due to President Trump's conciliatory approach to Russia, which has raised concerns about the safety of foreign assets and agents. Key allies, including Saudi Arabia, Israel, and members of the Five Eyes alliance, are reportedly discussing potential revisions to intelligence-sharing protocols. The situation is further complicated within NATO, where mistrust among members has intensified, especially following reports of the U.S. temporarily halting intelligence sharing with Ukraine to pressure for negotiations with Russia. Former officials have expressed that the erosion of trust and differing views on common threats could lead to reduced intelligence cooperation at a time when it is critically needed. While some NATO officials downplay the impact of these changes, the overall sentiment reflects a growing concern regarding the future of intelligence collaboration. The White House maintains that the U.S. possesses unrivaled intelligence capabilities and is committed to working with allies who understand the current global threats.
