(WASHINGTON TIMES) With President Obama standing beside her, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Friday she still has “differences of opinion” with the U.S. over the level of spying needed to combat terrorism.
At a press conference in the White House Rose Garden, Mrs. Merkel said the issue “requires further discussion” between the two leaders.
Mrs. Merkel and many of her constituents were incensed last year when former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden revealed that the U.S. had spied on her communications, including her cell phone.
