“Members of the European Union are quite upset because their relationship with the U.S. is supposed cozier than the frosty relationship between the U.S. and Russia. Germany and France seem really miffed over this whole spying deal. They thought they were exempt from surveillance because they are allies at the end of the day. ‘These facts, if confirmed, would be totally unacceptable,’ Minister of Foreign Affairs Laurent Fabius told Le Monde. ‘We expect the U.S. authorities to stand up as soon as possible the legitimate concerns raised by the revelations of the press.’ German politicians are also demanding an explanation from the U.S.”
