Trump declining intelligence briefings: report

US President-elect Donald Trump has received just two classified intelligence briefings since winning the presidency earlier this month, far less than his immediate predecessors, the Washington Post has reported.


The Republican's limited engagement with his team of intelligence analysts has some officials questioning the real estate mogul's commitment to national security or international affairs, arenas in which he has no significant experience.

The Trump transition team has brushed off those concerns, saying the president-elect has simply been busy appointing his administration members.

Vice President-elect Mike Pence, in contrast, has received intelligence briefings nearly every day since the 8 November vote, the paper reported.

Within days of his win Mr Trump received his initial briefing, and met once more with top US intelligence analysts before heading to Florida for the US Thanksgiving holiday.
