UK Suspends Intelligence Sharing with US Over Deadly Caribbean Drug Vessel Strikes
AI Generated (Gemini)
The United Kingdom has halted intelligence sharing with the United States regarding suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean, citing concerns that the information could enable deadly military strikes it considers illegal. British officials believe US attacks on suspected drug boats, which have killed 76 people since September, violate international law and constitute extrajudicial killings. The pause began over a month ago, marking a significant diplomatic break between close allies. Canada has similarly distanced itself from the strikes while maintaining Coast Guard cooperation.
