The United Kingdom High Commission based in Trinidad and Tobago has declined to comment on claims the UK government stopped sharing intelligence with the United States about suspected drug-trafficking vessels in the Caribbean.
In response to questions from Guardian Media about the CNN report, which alleged that the UK had ended intelligence sharing with Washington because it did not want to be complicit in what it viewed as illegal US military strikes, the British High Commission said, “We do not comment on matters related to intelligence. The US deployment to the Southern Caribbean is a matter for the US. The US remains our closest ally and partner on security globally.”
Guardian Media had asked whether the UK had communicated any changes in its intelligence-sharing policy to regional governments, including Trinidad and Tobago, and whether it had any concerns about the legality of US military interdictions in Caribbean waters.
