US President Donald Trump vowed on Thursday to bring anyone caught leaking US intelligence to justice, after British police stopped sharing information about the Manchester suicide bombing with the United States.

In a statement released after Trump arrived at a meeting of the NATO military alliance in Brussels, the president said he would seek an official review to stop leaks that he said posed a serious security threat.

He also said that the relationship between the United States and Britain was the most cherished of all US ties.

Earlier on Thursday, British Prime Minister Theresa May said that the US is Britain's deepest defence and security partner and the intelligence sharing relationship between the two countries is based on trust.

UK police have stopped sharing information about the Manchester attack with the United States due to concerns leaks that appeared in the US media risked hindering the investigation.
