Berlin Says U.S. May Be Spying on Merkel's Phone
BERLIN—Germany said it believed U.S. intelligence may be spying on Chancellor Angela Merkel's cellphone, an intrusion that it said would constitute a "grave breach of trust" between the longtime allies.

Ms. Merkel called President Barack Obama on Wednesday and made clear that such surveillance among allies would be "fully unacceptable," her spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said in a statement released late Wednesday evening in Berlin.

Mr. Obama assured the German leader that the U.S. isn't monitoring her communications, a White House spokesman said. It was unclear whether such surveillance may have occurred in the past, however.

"The government has received information that the mobile phone of the chancellor may be under surveillance by U.S. agencies," the statement said. "We have made an urgent inquiry to our American partners and have asked for an immediate and comprehensive explanation."

Mr. Seibert said Ms. Merkel expected U.S. agencies to explain their overall surveillance practices against Germany, "questions that the German government asked months ago."
