President Barack Obama and Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel had an interesting phone call today.
The German government obtained information that the United States may have monitored the mobile phone of Chancellor Merkel, so she called President Obama on Wednesday to demand an immediate clarification, a German government spokesman said.
"We swiftly sent a request to our American partners asking for an immediate and comprehensive clarification," the spokesman Steffen Seibert said in a statement. He added that Merkel had made clear to Obama that if the information proved trued it would be "completely unacceptable" and represent a "grave breach of trust".
Obama sought to assure Merkel that “the United States is not monitoring the communications of the chancellor.”
