Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border czar, said he no longer considers the United Kingdom a reliable U.S. ally after reports that it halted the sharing of intelligence on suspected drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean over concerns about the legality of recent military strikes.

Homan told reporters when asked about the reports, first published by CNN: "I don't think the UK is a friend to this country and friend of the president. I don't think there's skepticism."

He went on to say, "I'm not in my lane. I'm a border guy, that's a question for Pete Hegseth or the Secretary of State."
