Ms. Rousseff, who is in Russia along with President Barack Obama for a meeting of the G-20 group of nations, canceled on late Wednesday a trip by Brazilian officials to Washington this weekend to prepare for her visit with Mr. Obama.

Ms. Rousseff also asked for an apology and a written explanation after a Brazilian television news program reported that the National Security Agency had spied on her emails, phone calls and text messages, based on leaks provided by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. The U.S. has so far offered neither.
