French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said Monday he was "shocked" by claims the US has secretly monitored phone calls in France, and that he had asked Washington for clear answers.
"I am deeply shocked.... It's incredible that an allied country like the United States at this point goes as far as spying on private communications that have no strategic justification, no justification on the basis of national defence," he told journalists in Copenhagen.
