1. According to Danish Television (DR), several German, French, Norwegian and Swedish parliamentarians and senior officials were regularly spied on by the US National Security Agency (NSA) with the assistance of the Danish secret service, Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste (FE).
Notably, between 2012 and 2014, the Americans spied on Angela Merkel, as well as Peer Steinbruck and Frank-Walter Steinmeier, now President of the German Republic.
The NSA allegedly tapped into the undersea cables in Danish waters as well as SMS and telephone calls. In particular they had access to the secret listening station at Sandagergardan, near Copenhagen.
The investigation was led by DR with the assistance of Le Monde, the Swedish SVT, the Norwegian NRK, the German channels NDR and WDR with the newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung...

2. French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel demanded explanations from the United States and Denmark on Monday following reports that Danish intelligence services helped Washington to spy on European politicians.
"This is not acceptable between allies, even less so between European allies and partners," Macron said at a Franco-German Council of Ministers. Merkel said she agreed with her French counterpart's remarks.
Danish public broadcaster Danmarks Radio (DR) says that between 2012 and 2014 the Danish Defence Intelligence Service aided the US National Security Agency (NSA) to steal data via underwater internet cables.
Merkel was among the officials being eavesdropped on, according to the report.
US whistleblower Edward Snowden first alleged that Washington had tapped Merkel's phone in 2013, a claim that was not outrightly denied by the White House....

3. Even kindergarten pupils know how to show loyalty and respect to their friends. Hence it is one of history's greatest infamies for the supposedly sole superpower to stab its allies in the back, treating them as enemies instead of the best of buddies. It would be surprising and laughable if the "self-declared Messiah" ex-president and the White House incumbent deny any knowledge of the US spying scandal in Europe.
In particular, the White House incumbent who was deemed "incompetent" and "mentally shot" by his “Me First” predecessor, likes to lecture other countries on moral values and human rights. In his speech on "America’s Place in the World" in the US Department of State Headquarters, Harry S. Truman Building, Washington, D.C., President Biden said "under the eyes of the first American chief diplomat, Benjamin Franklin": "That must be this — we must start with diplomacy rooted in America’s most cherished democratic values: defending freedom, championing opportunity, upholding universal rights, respecting the rule of law, and treating every person with dignity."
Is that the way how the US upholds universal rights, respects the rule of law, and treats German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other EU leaders with dignity?
Like a fallen angel going down in infamy , such betrayal of the trust of friends and allies will "leave a stink for ten thousand years" ( as quoted in the Chinese saying: 遗臭万年), can the US take the moral high ground ever again?
