US Spying on German Phones?

The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, called president Obama in regards that the US may have spied on her mobile phone. A German spokesperson said that it was completely unacceptable. The call to US officials also extended to any US surveillance in Germany. The White House said that the US did not snoop on her communications, nor will it in the future. The US has had other allies show this same aggression on spying. Most of this was traced to leaker Edward Snowden. Snowden was a computer specialist for the CIA and a contractor for the NSA and disclosed many files. His current whereabouts are in Russia, exiled from the US. Either way, many countries now days are looking into Washington and searching if there would be anything that would suggest a serious breach of trust.
