“Nearly all national governments, not just the United States, use ‘lots of activities’ to safeguard their interests and security, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Monday, responding for the first time to allegations that Washington spied on the European Union and other allies. The EU has strongly demanded that the United States explain a report in a German magazine that Washington is spying on the group, saying that, if true, the alleged surveillance was ‘shocking’. The Guardian newspaper said that the United States had also targeted non-European allies including Japan, South Korea and India.”
