A country-by-country look at some of the recent allegations and fallout surrounding U.S. foreign surveillance programs:

Monitoring of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseffs communications and billions of emails and telephone calls. Surveillance targeted the Belgium-based system overseeing international bank transfers, known as SWIFT. Collection of 70.3 million French telephone calls and emails in one 30-day period. Text messages also swept up. Possible monitoring of German Chancellor Angela Merkels cellphone.

Rousseff canceled a state visit to Washington and condemned the U.S. at the United Nations General Assembly. European lawmakers approved rules that would strengthen privacy and called to cut U.S. access to bank records. France summoned U.S. ambassador for an explanation and renewed demands for talks on protection of personal data. Merkel called President Barack Obama to complain. She had also canceled a Cold War-era surveillance agreement. Pena Nieto said the surveillance would be an illegal act if it occurred. His administration has demanded an investigation. U.S. Ambassador James Costos was summoned to the Foreign Ministry to discuss reports of U.S. spying on Spain. Prime Minister David Cameron has defended cyber-surveillance programs, but lawmakers called for hearings.
