Davey: Trump's White House can't be trusted on intelligence

25 Mar 2025

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Commenting on the intelligence leaks coming out of the White House, after an Atlantic journalist was invited to a group chat in which senior US officials were planning strikes on Yemen, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

"Trump's White House can't be trusted to take even the most basic steps to keep its own intelligence safe. 

"Their fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants approach to security means it could only be a matter of time until our own intelligence shared with them is also leaked. This could put British lives at risk. 

"As a matter of urgency, the Government must comprehensively review our intelligence-sharing arrangements with the US."
