A European intelligence official is reportedly warning that his country may stop sharing information with the U.S. after reports that President Trump revealed highly classified intel to Russian officials.
The official said sharing information "could be a risk for our sources," The Associated Press reported.
The Washington Post reported Monday that Trump revealed highly classified intelligence information to Russia's foreign minister and ambassador while meeting with them last week in the Oval Office.
Trump reportedly revealed code-word information related to threats from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria that had been provided by a U.S. ally.
One U.S. official told the newspaper that the information was so sensitive it had not been provided to U.S. allies.
