Kerry called NSA-spying concerns “legitimate,” while denying that they’ll affect U.S. trade talks with the European Union, slated for next week.

“That should not be confused with whatever legitimate questions exist with respect to NSA or other activities,” Kerry said of the upcoming trade talks.

These were the first NSA questions Kerry has faced since leaving the United States Sunday. It was his third time taking questions from reporters on the trip, but in previous appearances (with the foreign ministers of Egypt and Saudi Arabia), questions focused on Iran, Syria, and U.S. relations with Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and NSA spying didn’t come up.

Kerry sparked a tiff with the NSA last week when he was asked about surveillance via teleconference during a London panel on transparency in government. NSA chief Gen. Keith Alexander took exception to Kerry’s comment that eavesdropping on foreign leaders had happened on “automatic pilot.”

In a throwback to Bush-era fallout over the so-called global war on terror, today Kerry was reminded of the controversy surrounding CIA black sites and the U.S. “extraordinary rendition” program brought to light in 2005.
