The entrance to the U.S. embassy is pictured in Berlin October 25, 2013. An outraged Germany summoned the U.S. ambassador for the first time in living memory on Thursday, over suspicions Washington bugged Chancellor Angela Merkel’s phone, in the worst spat between the close allies in a decade. The issue dominated discussions at a European summit on Thursday, prompting Merkel to demand that the U.S. strike a «no-spying» agreement with Berlin and Paris by the end of the year. The White House did not deny the bugging, saying only it would not happen in future. REUTERS/Tobias Schwarz (GERMANY – Tags: POLITICS CITYSPACE)
