France warned today that allegations of Washington spying on its European allies were threatening talks on a crucial free trade pact, as US President Barack Obama vowed to respond to Europe's concerns once he had all the facts.

In his first reaction to the growing scandal, Obama promised an answer to European questions about the alleged bugging of EU offices by US security services.

"When we have an answer, we will make sure to provide all the information that our allies want," Obama, on a tour of Africa, said at a press conference in Tanzania.
