POLITICO: Trump considering reducing intelligence sharing with Europe

Foreign officials have told POLITICO that Donald Trump plans to scale back intelligence sharing with NATO members if he wins reelection.

This policy is part of a broader plan to reduce cooperation with the alliance, which Trump has often harshly criticized as possibly leading to all-out war and also involving many allies who do not spend the minimum amount required in the NATO treaty for defense.

While the first Trump administration shared neither more nor less intelligence than before, a second Trump administration may not only claw back President Biden's expansion of intelligence sharing but reduce it to below all previous levels.

This greatly worries European countries, who rely on US intelligence for warnings regarding hostile actors such as Russia, and will likely be a major source of tension if Trump wins in November.
