US Threatens to Terminate Intelligence Sharing with UK
The White House has warned British Prime Minister Keir Starmer that refusing to prosecute two suspected "Chinese spies" could undermine the "special relationship" between Britain and the United States and threaten intelligence sharing.
According to The Sunday Times newspaper, US President Donald Trump questioned London's reliability in security matters after charges against two Britons — former parliamentary researcher Chris Cash and academic Christopher Berry — were dropped.

The "special relationship" between Britain and the United States could be undermined.
Cash and Berry were charged in April 2024 after an investigation conducted by Scotland Yard's counter-terrorism unit.
