Trump sharing allies' intel with the Russians.

9. The actual article is paywalled - here is a link.

The article is also in Dutch. My browser (Firefox on Linux) auto-translated to English. It's a long article -- here is an excerpt (in English) that pertains to US-Dutch relations. It's a bit fractured because it's computer translation, but you get the idea.

Edited to add that the entire interview is very interesting and very in depth.

As this comes to Europe, the US is rapidly moving towards an autocracy. US President Donald Trump is deploying the military against his own people. Judges' rulings are ignored. The head of wiretapping service NSA was fired for not being loyal enough.

Reesink: ‘To great sorrow on our side. We knew the man well.”
Is it still justified to continue the intensive sharing of intelligence with the US on the same footing?
Reesink: ‘We visited the CIA and NSA a few months ago. Also with my own wonder: how is it going in the workplace? I am positively reassured there again. The tires are good and will stay good. This is without prejudice to us regularly weighing this cooperation.’

What is the conclusion when it comes to, for example, sharing intelligence about Russia, of which it is not certain what the US will do with it?

Reesink: ‘That’s being weighed.’

Are you more reluctant to share certain information?

Reesink: ‘I can’t go into what that relationship is like now compared to this. But that we make that trade-off and sometimes don’t tell things anymore, that’s true.’

That's a striking breakup. What has been the most important change?

Akerboom: ‘We do not judge what we see politically, but we look at our experiences with the services. And we are very keen on politicizing our intelligence and on violating human rights.”
What does it mean for practice if there are risks in these areas?
Akerboom: ‘Sometimes you have to start thinking about case by case: can I still share this information or not?’
