Moves by President Joe Biden to restrict Donald Trump's access to intelligence has reassured European allies that they can share freely with the US again, sources told Insider.
Officials in three different intelligence services in Europe responded warmly to comments by Biden in his first TV interview as president, where he said he didn't want Trump to keep getting intelligence briefings.
Previous presidents have been given the briefings as a courtesy, which the current president can cancel at any time.
Though Biden said he saw no need for Trump to keep getting briefed, he stopped short of saying definitively that he would cut him off.
Nonetheless, the move reassured the intelligence officials Insider spoke to, all of whom requested anonymity because of the nature of their work.
