  Spain is the latest country to slam the United States over reported  surveillance of their people, with the Spanish foreign minister telling the U.S.  ambassador who had been summoned to explain the latest revelations that it is  “unacceptable.”
  –
  Previously, both France and Mexico lashed out against the U.S. over  surveillance in their countries, though the Director of National  Intelligence denied the veracity of the reports.
  –
  It was also recently reported that Obama actually knew about and approved of the NSA’s  surveillance of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, despite claims to the  contrary. Some 21 countries are now involved in drafting an anti-NSA  resolution in the United Nations in response to the many reports.
  –
  Jose Manuel Garcia Margallo, the Spanish foreign minister, said that the  latest revelations could very well lead to a breakdown of trust between the U.S.  and Spain.
  –
  “We have asked the U.S. ambassador, as in two previous instances, to  facilitate the government in getting the necessary information on this matter,  which if confirmed, could lead to the breakdown of the traditional trust that  have governed relations between the two countries,” Margallo said to Spanish  paper El Mundo, according to USA Today.
  –
  El Mundo recently reported on documents showing that the NSA collected  data on Spanish phone calls from Dec. 10,  2012 to Jan. 8, 2013, totaling over 60 million communications.
  –
  The paper reported that the data collected included the serial numbers of phones and even the location, though the  contents of the actual communication were reportedly not collected, according to  documents leaked by Edward Snowden.
  –
  U.S. Ambassador James Costos had already been summoned to Spain before the  El Mundo report was published,  according to The Wall Street Journal.
  –
  Costos was called by the Spanish foreign ministry over reports published last week that indicated that  Spain might have been a target of NSA spying.
