Brazil cancels U.S. visit over spy claims
Brazil's president has postponed a planned state visit to the United States over allegations that the National Security Agency has spied on her government.
"The President has said that he understands and regrets the concerns disclosures of alleged U.S. intelligence activities have generated in Brazil," said a statement from White House spokesman Jay Carney.
Brazil President Dilma Rousseff made her own announcement at a press conference on Tuesday.
A canceled state visit is the latest fallout from revelations about NSA surveillamce programs that Obama and aides say are designed to prevent terrorist attacks.
