Washington Post report did not identify foreign government discussed in document that FBI seized from Trump's Florida house, nor did it indicate whether the country was friendly or hostile to US.
Some of the seized documents detail top-secret US operations that require special clearances, not just top-secret clearance, Washington Post reports.

A document describing a
foreign government's military defences, including its nuclear
capabilities, has been found in the FBI's search last month of ex-president Donald Trump's Florida home, the Washington Post
reported.
Tuesday's report, which cited people familiar with the matter, did not identify the foreign government discussed in the document, nor did it indicate whether the foreign government was friendly or hostile to the United States.
Trump representatives and the Justice Department did not
immediately respond to requests for comment from the Reuters news agency.
The FBI recovered more than 11,000 government documents and
photographs during its August 8 search at Trump's Mar-a-Lago
estate, according to court records.
According to the Post report, some of the seized documents
detail top-secret US operations that require special
clearances, not just top-secret clearance.
Some of the documents are so restricted that even some of
the Biden administration's senior-most national security
officials were not authorised to review them, the Post said.
The US Justice Department is investigating Trump for
removing government records from the White House after he
departed in January 2021 and storing them at Mar-a-Lago.
On Monday, a federal judge agreed to Trump's request to
appoint a special master to review records seized in the FBI
search, a move that is likely to delay the Justice Department's
criminal investigation.
