OSLO (Reuters) - Norway's prime minister Erna Solberg said on Thursday the United States had given assurances it had stopped spying on its allies in 2014, after Oslo launched a protest against the practice.

Norway called in the U.S. ambassador, she said, after a report that the U.S. National Security Agency had used a partnership with Denmark's foreign intelligence unit to spy on senior officials, including herself.
