The White House is denying allegations that the U.S. tapped German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s mobile phone.
Press Secretary Jay Carney said at Wednesday’s press briefing that during a phone conversation between President Obama and Merkel, the president assured Germany’s leader that the U.S. was “not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of the chancellor.”
A German government spokesperson said Wednesday that Merkel’s phone was being monitored by the United States, and that Merkel called President Obama for “immediate and comprehensive clarification.”
