📝 Summary
NATO countries are increasingly concerned about the risks of intelligence sharing, distrust has grown due to the pro-Russian position of Bratislava and Budapest, as well as attempts by US President Donald Trump to improve relations with Moscow.
“Traditional” NATO members have a distrust of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe that joined it after the collapse of the Eastern bloc, which complicates the sharing of intelligence, the newspaper notes, citing former officials of the alliance, including its security services. Distrust grew because of the position of the authorities of Hungary and Slovakia, acting pro-Russian after the start of the special operation, and the actions of Trump, who wants to improve relations with Russia. Such attempts "shake the core of the alliance, forcing countries to think about the risks of sharing intelligence with Washington," Politico said. NATO members feared Washington would stop sharing intelligence with them. “There’s a lot of gossip about the future of intelligence sharing,” said Julie Smith, a former U.S. ambassador to NATO. At the same time, an unnamed current NATO official considers such threats exaggerated. “Personnel stay calm and keep working,” the Politico official said, pointing out that Trump has no problem with NATO beyond the issue of defense spending. Another anonymous acting official also told the newspaper that what is happening around the world has not affected intelligence sharing within the alliance. Earlier, the British edition of the Daily Mail wrote that US President Donald Trump is considering transferring NATO leadership to European states.
