“The US and German security agencies have reportedly stumbled over a bilateral treaty which would stop the US spying on the German government. According to local media reports, Washington has failed to meet Berlin’s key demands. Tuesday’s edition of Süddeutsche Zeitung daily came out with the headline ‘The Americans lied to us’. The German daily was quoting an unnamed high-ranking local official who claimed that even in the wake of the recent scandal, when it emerged that the NSA had been tapping the mobile telephone of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the White House would not promise to stop listening to German politicians’ phone calls.”
