France and Mexico are demanding explanations from the United States following new spying allegations leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
A report on the French daily Le Monde claims the NSA collected as many as 70.3 million phone records from French citizens in a 30-day period.
France said the behavior unacceptable and has asked the U.S. ambassador to explain why America spied on one of its closest allies.
Similar programs have been revealed in Britain and Germany.
Meanwhile, Germany's weekly Der Spiegel published reports that the NSA hacked former Mexican President Felipe Calderon's email account.
The report says the documents describe an operation dubbed "Flat liquid" that claim to have accessed Mexico's "presidential" domain, which was also purportedly used by members of Calderon's Cabinet.
Earlier documents revealed the United States had also spied on current Mexican President Enrique Peņa Nieto before he was elected last year.
Mexico said it will send a diplomatic note to the United States, adding that "in a relationship of neighbors and partners, there is no room for the kind of activities that allegedly took place."
