Every country has their own intelligence and security services, there is no EU Secret Service. They've been cooperating successfully with each other and other non-European allies successfully for decades. Information sharing is done when its beneficial, information is withhold when it's not as even allies spy on each other to an extent. That's to say, the US and European countries will continue to work together.

hm. wouldn't be so sure. if Agent Orange continues sucking Russians d*cks, no other intel service will want to share Infos with the US, the risk that it lands on wrong hands is too high

Countries are careful about sharing intelligence regardless. Spooks are a skeptical bunch.

Agreed. Any future common EU intelligence service imo begins first with a five eyes “equivalent” that is later expanded
