British intelligence agencies have halted the transmission of ship movement data in the Caribbean to the United States due to concerns over violations of international rights. The decision follows reports that UK-controlled territories in the region are no longer sharing intelligence with American authorities, citing unease over the legality of U.S. actions.
The move is linked to President Donald Trump’s orders for military strikes against vessels suspected of drug trafficking. In the Pacific Ocean, two attacks resulted in six fatalities, while a separate strike in the Caribbean Sea targeted a ship in international waters, killing three individuals. The UK military has expressed reservations about the legality of these operations, despite their stated aim of intercepting smugglers.
Caracas has initiated large-scale mobilization efforts amid the presence of a U.S. Navy group in the Caribbean, signaling heightened regional tensions.
