It's not just the UK: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes
Hasn't this been accepted with things like the Five Eyes alliance? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes
The UK is part of the "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance and as such has no real need to spy on the US president. I would assume that Germany is spying on the US but just hasn't been caught (at least not publicly).
all major nations do exactly the same as the nsa. yes france. yes germany. becauqe theyve not been exposes as publicly does not mean nobody is watching.source: used to work in eu intelligence agencies
I suspect the US catches its European allies doing this all the time. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/intel-insiders-europeans-spying-...
Don't forget Echelon revelations about the US spying on European companies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON. Of course European companies, esp France have done the same.
Spoiler: all countries are surveilling each other.

All nations do. It's become very normal. On the surface relations are nice and respectful. But we even spy on our allies behind closed doors. Take the case of Germany, that became public knowledge because of wikileaks. We had Angela Merkel's office wiretapped, among other things[1]. After it became known, they hardly responded past some internal investigations. I think their Senate switched to storing documents offline too. But at this point it isn't something inexcusable. And you
