Dutch Intelligence Services Reduce Information Sharing with US
Dutch intelligence services are reducing information sharing with the United States, citing concerns over the politicization of intelligence and human rights violations under President Trump’s administration. This shift marks a departure from decades of close collaboration with US agencies like the CIA and NSA, with sharing now considered on a case-by-case basis. Simultaneously, cooperation within Europe is increasing, particularly among northern European intelligence services, driven by the ongoing war in Ukraine. Furthermore, the directors warned of cyber threats from Russia and China, urging caution for Dutch travelers to China due to potential data breaches and advocating for broader powers to act faster against cyberattacks.
