A senior European intelligence official tells The Associated Press that his country might stop sharing information with the United States if it confirms President Donald Trump shared classified details with Russian officials.
The official said Tuesday that doing so “could be a risk for our sources.”
The official spoke only on condition that neither he nor his country be identified, because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

Um, maybe this story falls into the category “too early to report”?
The report is certainly vague. But this does appear to mark a turning point: Trump has graduated from being a theoretical threat to national security to a demonstrable threat to national security.
Well, the Trump administration denied it, so the odds are overwhelming that it is true.
No surprise that other countries with which we have intelligence sharing arrangements may not want to risk their sources by sharing information with the Incompetent Narcissist In Chief who feels the need to make himself look cool with his bros by sharing highly classified information. That’s just self-preservation and good sense. It would be nice if our Congress could show the same concerns.

True, but I recall the UK was pretty pissed when Donald suggested the GCHQ had wiretapped him and demanded an apology and a promise not to repeat such a suggestion. My bet is the UK’s cup is full - no Head of the MI6 giving Donald a briefing, when he visits the queen.
The UKUSA (UK-USA-Australia) partnership (with smaller partners like DK) is pretty important.
