\u2018The Special Relationship Is Dead\u2019: UK Suspends Intelligence Sharing With U.S. over Caribbean Drug Smuggler Strikes<\/h3>\n

Oliver JJ Lane<\/strong><\/p>\n

The British government has reportedly suspended intelligence on Caribbean drug smuggling operations with the United States to distance itself from recent air strikes on cartel boats, seemingly siding with human rights lawyer maximalism over security interests.<\/p>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s policy of using \u201ckinetic strikes\u201d to prevent drugs from making it to the streets of America has apparently been rejected by the human rights lawyer-led British government, evidently prioritising adherence to United Nations rules over its relationship with the nation\u2019s most consequential ally.<\/p>\n

Intelligence gathered from the string of British overseas territories and UK military intelligence assets stationed in the Caribbean is no longer being shared with Washington, according to CNN. The British government has refused to confirm or deny these claims, citing the importance of secrecy in intelligence matters, but the report cites an internal British source who states the UK stopped sharing intelligence a month ago, after the U.S. started sinking drug smuggler boats, and that his decision was reached because of human rights concerns.<\/p>\n

Former UK Home Secretary and Attorney General Suella Braverman, a Conservative lawmaker who has established herself on the Farage-friendly right of the party, slammed the decision and warned that it would further damage Britain\u2019s relationship with the United States, on whom the UK is ultimately dependent for security through the aegis of NATO.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Great Britain is withholding counter-narcotics intell, which presumably consists of who is loading what where, and when and how it will be delivered. So, Tren de Aragua, meth coke and fentanyl in Venezuela, by go-faster boat, surprise. Not simple fishermen. This on top of the recall of their Ambassador Mandelson and the Brit’s government-run media giant- the BBC-\u00a0 manipulating Trump’s 6 January speech.\u00a0 I’d expect a bit more than a strongly worded letter; more like a pissed-off Marco Rubio. Right Nigel?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
