The 4th Amendment covers this, really. U.S. citizens have protections under that Amendment. Foreign entities do not. So, if you're interested in communications between U.S. citizens and a particular foreign entity, you simply monitor the foreign entity.

It may seem to be a fine point, but it's really not, in a legal sense. You're only seeing whatever communications that exist with the monitored foreign entity.
