Secretary of State John Kerry traveled to Colombia and Brazil this week.
Hi again. Welcome back to As It Is. I’m Kelly Jean Kelly.
Today we are going to Surf City, California. Riding the waves on surfboards has become a way of life there.
“Oh man, I love just getting out away from it all, get in the water and it is all blue and clean, and it just takes away all your problems.”
But first, we go to South America. American Secretary of State John Kerry was in Colombia and Brazil this week talking with other diplomats. He made the visit to improve relations between the United States and Latin America. But South American leaders are expressing concerns about American spy programs. Those programs are reported to target communications across South America. Christopher Cruise has more.
Barack Obama’s administration has said the American government wants to work with many South American countries. Here is Secretary of State John Kerry in Colombia this week, visiting a sports program for soldiers and police wounded by landmines.
“We will do everything possible that we can do to try to be helpful, to support this program and other programs and ultimately to try to help bring peace in Colombia.”
But tensions have increased between the United States and South America recently. Many South American officials are angry about reports that the United States government has examined emails and phone calls across Latin America.
