Brazilian President Dilma
Rousseff has called off a state visit to Washington next month in a row
over allegations of US espionage.
The US National Security Agency (NSA) has been accused of
intercepting emails and messages from Ms Rousseff, her aides and state
oil company, Petrobras.
The allegations were based on documents leaked by fugitive former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.
President Barack Obama had promised to investigate the incident.
The White House said he had telephoned Ms Rousseff on Monday to discuss the matter.
The allegations of widespread espionage against Brazilian
citizens were first published in July by Rio de Janeiro-based journalist
Glenn Greenwald, a reporter for the British Guardian newspaper.
