Germany Says U.S. May Be Spying on Merkel’s Phone

Germany said it believed U.S. intelligence may be spying on Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cellphone in what it said would constitute a “grave breach of trust” between the longtime allies, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Merkel called President Obama and made clear that such alleged surveillance among allies would be “fully unacceptable.” Obama assured the German leader that the U.S. isn’t monitoring her communications.
