Catherine Field: France Correspondent on European leaders' handling of Trump's attempts to take control of Greenland - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Europe is split on how to handle Donald Trump's escalating attempts to take control of Greenland.  

The US President's said he will impose tariffs on eight European countries unless he can buy the Danish territory.  

Newstalk ZB's Paris Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking the bull is in the china shop, and leaders can't agree on next steps.  

She says for example, the Germans want a combative approach behind closed doors while appearing conciliatory in public. 

Field says on the other hand, the French President wants to use what they're calling the bazooka, which would see the US hit with $190-billion worth of tariffs.
