These leaks have been devastating to our foreign relations. Nations, even allies, routinely spy on one another and have been for probably as long as there have been nations forming entangling alliances.

As Yule Brynner playing the King of Siam sang in Rodger's and Hammerstein's The King and I, "Shall I join with other nations in alliance? If allies are weak, am I not best alone? If allies are strong with power to protect me Might they not protect me out of all I own? Is a danger to be trusting one another...." And nations will always do what they need to do to protect their interests.
