Haley: 'We're trying to reassure' allies on intel sharing

Washington (CNN)The US is working to reassure allies that the Trump administration can be trusted with sensitive information in the wake of President Donald Trump's reported disclosure of highly classified material, US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Monday.

Haley's comments on NBC's "Today" show come one week after revelations that Trump reportedly shared sensitive intelligence with Russian officials in the Oval Office earlier this month. The disclosure may have compromised a key Israeli source of anti-ISIS information. Trump arrived in Israel Monday as part of his first foreign trip in office.

"I've talked with (CIA) Director (Mike) Pompeo on this as well because so much of what I do at the United Nations is based on sensitive information. So much of what a lot of the Cabinet members, what they do, is based on sensitive information," Haley said.
"We're trying to reassure all of our counterparts what they tell us is kept, trust, and valued, and we will return the favor," she added.

Too late. It trust is hard to earn and easy to lose- just takes one fuck up. In this case, you have Trump, a habitual liar.

that clown is in the WH. They can lecture him until he's blue in the face and he'll still blurt out sensitive info minutes later. He's UNFIT. Don't they get it?

Either government agencies must hold things back from the POTUS or other nations will have to keep whatever they've got to themselves. Trump is a security risk and can't be trusted.
