The Obama Administration successfully lobbied the EU to do away with a proposed data privacy measure, according to a report in the Financial Times. The exclusion would make it easier for the U.S. to spy on EU citizens.

James Fontanella-Khan, the FT reporter who broke the story, joins Marketplace Morning Report host David Brancaccio from Brussels.
