The German government has asked the top US intelligence official in Berlin to leave the country.
The move comes amid reports of two cases of suspected American espionage in Germany and a longer dispute over alleged NSA spying on the US ally.
Clemens Binniger, a lawmaker from Chancellor Angela Merkel's party, said the US intelligence official had been told he was no longer welcome in the country.
Mr Binniger, who chairs a parliamentary committee on the intelligence services, told reporters on Thursday "the government has asked the representative of the US intelligence agencies in Germany to leave the country as a reaction to the ongoing failure to help resolve the various allegations, starting with the NSA and up to the latest incidents".
The move was confirmed by a government spokesman.
Shortly before the decision was announced, Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters that Germany and the US had "very different approaches" to the role of intelligence agencies.
"I think that in these times, which can be very confusing, very much depends on trust between allies," she said.
