Obama pledges to end 'unacceptable' tactics after France spying row
24.06.2015
US President Barack Obama spoke with his French counterpart, Francois Hollande, on Wednesday after reports emerged that his government spied on French leaders, a statement from the French president's office said.
"President Obama reiterated unequivocally his firm commitment … to end the practices that may have happened in the past, and that are unacceptable among allies," the statement said.
The two presidents discussed "the principles that should govern relations between allies in the domain of intelligence."
French intelligence officials will visit Washington some time soon to discuss the matter, the statement added.
