Merkel: US spying has shattered allies' trust

European leaders united in anger as they attended a summit overshadowed by reports of widespread US spying on its allies - allegations German Chancellor Angela Merkel said had shattered trust in the Obama administration and undermined the crucial trans-Atlantic relationship.

"We need trust among allies and partners," Merkel told reporters in Brussels. "Such trust now has to be built anew. This is what we have to think about." (AP)
