Brazilian Senate calls hearing on US spying

摘要

Sao Paulo—A Brazilian Senate committee called for a public hearing to discuss the allegations that the United States spied on stateowned oil giant Petrobras, requesting the attendance of company president Maria das Gracas Silva Foster as well as the National Petroleum Agency head Magda Chambriard. The Senate’s Committee on Economic Affairs passed a resolution on Tuesday to call a hearing, saying it would be “to discuss the allegations of spying on Petrobras by the US government,” as well as whether these revelations should affect next month’s highly anticipated presalt auctions.
