The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said it’s dangerous for the United States to considering sharing intelligence with a country that is so closely tied with Russia and Iran.

Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C, criticized a White House directive that instructs the U.S. director of national intelligence to cooperate with Cuban intelligence counterparts. Burr said the United States would alert any country of a possible imminent terrorist threat, but he said the United States should not be providing intelligence to any country that might share it with adversaries.

“I don’t think as long as I’m chairman of the committee, that the intelligence community is going to be in an intelligence sharing relationship with Cuba,” Burr said.

The little-known directive has raised concerns among South Florida Cuban Americans who are intimately aware of the Castro’s government past success spying on the United States government. But others feel that the United States could and should share a limited amount of information with the Cuban government much like it shares some terrorism related information with adversaries like Russia.

The Obama administration says the directive is intended to combat “mutual threats.”

  1. So, let’s see, Hillary is all hot and bothered that Putin is trying to influence our elections. How unprecedented, she complains. She has selective memory. While she was Secretary of State, Obama and Hillary sent operatives with loads of money to try to meddle in the Israeli elections. I wonder why no one brings that up? I am grateful that it was made known to the Israelis and in protest, they voted for Netanyahu.
    So now it is okay with Obama that we share secrets with Cuba which means with Putin,the meddler.
    And my liberal friends will vote for Hillary.,
    I despair.
