PARIS — French President Francois Hollande says he spoke with President Barack Obama about revelations of U.S. eavesdropping on French leaders, and that Obama reiterated promises to stop spying tactics considered "unacceptable between allies."
Hollande said in a statement that the two spoke by telephone Wednesday after the release of WikiLeaks documents about NSA intercepts of conversations involving Hollande and his two predecessors between 2006 and 2012.
Obama made a similar pledge after Edward Snowden revealed the extent of NSA surveillance powers in 2013.
Obama and Hollande discussed "the principles that should govern relations between allies in the domain of intelligence," the French president said.
