Britain stops sharing intelligence with US after Trump bombs drug boats

Britain has stopped sharing intelligence with the US about drug trafficking in the Caribbean, in a move that risks opening a fresh rift with Donald Trump.

In a major break with its closest ally, the Labour Government allegedly paused intelligence briefings because it does not want to be complicit in US strikes on suspected drug boats in Latin America, CNN reported.

The pause came into effect in September shortly after the US began carrying out lethal strikes against boats suspected of transporting drugs from Latin America to mainland US, sources told the news outlet.
