Five Eyes Alliance Faces Uncertainty as U.S. Allies Question Trust Under Trump

Concerns grow over intelligence sharing as Trump's foreign policy and Russia stance strain longstanding partnerships.

The Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance, comprising the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, is under strain due to concerns about U.S. reliability.
U.S. allies are debating whether to limit intelligence sharing with Washington following Trump's perceived alignment with Russia and controversial foreign policy decisions.
Recent U.S. actions, including suspending military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, have raised alarm among Five Eyes members and other global allies.
Experts warn that a breakdown of the Five Eyes alliance could weaken intelligence capabilities, particularly in monitoring threats from Russia and China.
Despite tensions, some member nations, like the U.K. and Canada, publicly emphasize the alliance's importance and the need for continued cooperation.
