DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – A former CIA director and a former British prime minister offered simple advice on Wednesday for U.S. President-elect Donald Trump: Have daily intelligence briefings.
Both Leon Panetta, a former American spymaster and defense secretary, and Britain’s former Prime Minister David Cameron emphasized the point after Trump suggested he didn’t need them.
“I have never seen a president who has said, ‘I don’t want that stuff.’ Never seen it,” Panetta said at the Arab Strategy Forum in Dubai.
Cameron said: “It won’t last.”
Panetta added: “It can’t last.”
