NSA Spying Allegations: Germany Summons U.S. Ambassador To Answer For Wiretapping Claims
Posted in: Today's ChiliBERLIN — BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s Foreign Ministry summoned the U.S. ambassador Thursday following allegations that American intelligence may have targeted Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cellphone.
At the same time, a senior lawmaker expressed concern at the White House’s statement that it isn’t monitoring and won’t monitor Merkel’s communications — a response that didn’t address what might have happened in the past. And the defense minister added that Europe can’t simply return to business as usual in trans-Atlantic ties following a string of reports that the U.S. was spying on its allies.
