US Envoy in France summoned over alleged US spying 

France has summoned the US envoy in Paris over claims that the US spied on President Francois Hollande and his two predecessors. 

Mr Hollande called the allegations unacceptable and is expected to speak with President Obama over the claims.  

The US said it will not comment on specific intelligence allegations.  Ned Price, a spokesman for the US National Security Council, added that the US was not targeting and will not target the communications of Mr Hollande.  
The French President called an emergency meeting to discuss the issue and insisted France would not tolerate acts that threaten its security.  

Prime Minister Manuel Valls urged the US to quickly repair damage to its relationship with France.  

The NSA has previously been accused of spying on German Chancellor Angela Merkel and on Brazilian and Mexican leaders.
