This mess really does not place the US in a good light.

The US best disavow any interest in knowing Angela Merkel's phone calls with her best friend Gertrude, whether or not to have sauerkraut with their bratwurst next Sunday. 

What on earth this exchange has to do with US security God knows and in the transfer of milliards of info from the EU to the US National Security Agency, FBI and CIA are such tidbits of info. They even include a tiff between Angela and Francois whether or not to have English Roast Beef at their next meeting.
