Privacy right has reached a new low today
The United States on Friday criticized proposals to build a European communication network to avoid emails and other data passing through the United States, warning that such rules could breach international trade laws.
In its annual review of telecommunications trade barriers, the office of the U.S. Trade Representative said impediments to cross-border data flows were a serious and growing concern.
It was closely watching new laws in Turkey that led to the blocking of websites and restrictions on personal data, as well as calls in Europe for a local communications network following revelations last year about U.S. digital eavesdropping and surveillance.

Long story short: If you don't want to lost trust from your European allies, don't freaking try to eavesdrop them.
Tsundere US: I...it's not like I want to eavesdrop you or anything, it just happens that you have a communication network running through my country, BAKA.
