From the Dutch news org de Volkskrant:

"The Dutch intelligence services AIVD and MIVD have started sharing less information with their American partners, according to the heads of the Dutch services. Peter Reesink (MIVD): "It's true that we sometimes stop sharing things." Erik Akerboom (AIVD): "Sometimes you have to consider each case individually : can I still share this information or not?"

"This is the first time that the AIVD and MIVD have acknowledged that developments in the United States, where human rights and the rule of law are under pressure, have consequences for the intelligence relationship. This marks a striking rupture in the decades-long relationship between the Dutch services and American intelligence agencies such as the CIA and NSA."
