                  Brazil Asks US to Stop Violating Sovereignty

   by VOA News

   Brazilian Foreign Minister Antonio Patriota says the United States must
   stop practices that he says violate Brazil's sovereignty.
   Patriota met with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Brasilia
   Tuesday to talk about the National Security Agency's surveillance of
   telephone and Internet traffic. Brazil is one of several foreign
   countries where the NSA spies on communications as part of the war on
   terrorism
   Patriota said the spying casts a shadow over U.S. - Brazilian
   cooperation and trust. He hinted that Brazil is not satisfied with the
   explanations offered by the United States.
   Kerry said Brazil is owed answers and will get them. He said the NSA
   program has helped protect Americans and Brazilians. He defended it as
   legal and and being under government oversight.
   Kerry also defended the NSA program during his visit to Colombia Monday
   - another nation under surveillance.
