Former Canadian intelligence official Dan Stanton says recent cuts to U.S. intelligence agencies could have a bigger impact than just America 's borders.

He said the cuts are “degrading the efficiency” of the U.K. intelligence community.

Stanton said it would mean the people who replace them may not know what they’re doing, causing the intelligence community to “lose our eye on the target”.

“If you get significant changes in that culture from those appointments, then yes, the agencies are going to become inefficient and could be politicized and, you know, basically do whatever the president tells them to,” he said.

“It’s horrible to watch what’s going on (in) the intelligence community, which in some ways is a canary in the mine as to what's going on in the U.S. government”.
