Members of the so-called Five Eyes spy alliance, as well as Israeli and Saudi officials, fear the identities of foreign assets could inadvertently be shared with Moscow.

Summary

US allies including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Five Eyes members are considering scaling back intelligence sharing with Washington due to the Trump administration’s warming relations with Russia.

Allies fear compromising foreign assets’ identities. Sources with direct knowledge confirm “those discussions are already happening,” though no decisions have been made.

While the UK, Canada, and Israel publicly affirmed their intelligence partnerships, former US intelligence officials express deep concern about Trump’s Russia pivot.

Previous US attempts at intelligence cooperation with Russia historically failed.
