UK stops sharing Caribbean drug boat intelligence with US over unlawful attacks

yle.fi (Swedish)

Britain has stopped sharing intelligence with the US on suspected drug smuggling boats in the Caribbean. This decision stems from concerns that US military attacks on these vessels violate international law. The UK's move, which began over a month ago, follows a series of deadly US strikes resulting in at least 76 deaths. Britain believes these actions are unlawful and marks a significant break with its closest ally. Colombia has now followed suit, suspending its own intelligence sharing with the US. The UN has also urged the US to cease these attacks, citing human rights violations.
