British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Thursday she would tell US President Donald Trump that intelligence shared between their two countries had to remain secure after leaks to US media about the Manchester attack. The official threat level in Britain was raised after the Manchester attack to “critical”, its highest level, meaning a further attack could be imminent. The decision to stop sharing police information with US agencies was an extraordinary step as Britain sees the United States as its closest ally on security and intelligence. The city’s two giant soccer clubs, Manchester United and Manchester City, laid aside their fierce rivalry to jointly donate £1 million ($1.3 million) to an emergency fund set up to support families affected by the attack. They labeled their initiative “A City United”.
