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.

    Any intelligence agency worth its salt should know by now that any secrets they share with the US will also be shared with Russia. Or anybody who pays a million dollars to go to a party at Mar a Lago so they can flatter Trump in person.

    Every world intelligence agency should consider the US to be completely compromised at this point.

      They know, believe me, it’s their whole job. They had contingency plans good-to-go before the election. We the public are just now hearing this bubble up to the top.

      I’m wondering if fake intel has started being passed.
