German to visit US over spy row
Senior German officials will travel to the US “shortly” to talk to the White House and the National Security Agency about spying allegations, including how chancellor Angela Merkel’s mobile phone was allegedly monitored by the NSA.
German government spokesman Georg Streiter said the heads of its foreign and domestic intelligence agencies would participate in the talks. He did not give a specific date for the trip, saying it was being arranged on “relatively short notice”.
