A Brazilian based Globo TV channel had accused the National Security Agency (NSA) for spying on country’s president and other government officials. that The president’s trip to the U.S. was under review since then.

This would be the first state visit of a Brazilian in the U.S. in almost two decades. The last president to receive the honor was Fernando Henrique Cardoso in 1995. However, the president has promised the nation that she will speak against NSA’s spying activities at the opening of 68th General Assembly of the United Nations, to be held next week in New York.
