But revelations of spying by the U.S. National Security Agency in Brazil, including personal communication by Rousseff, led Brazil to believe it could not trust a U.S. company. "The NSA problem ruined it for the Americans," a Brazilian government source said on condition of anonymity. A U.S. source close to the negotiations said that whatever intelligence the spying had delivered for the American government was unlikely to outweigh the commercial cost of the revelations. "Was that worth 4 billion dollars?" the source asked. Discuss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
