The European Union is focusing on who will be the best voice to respond to Donald Trump's threat of tariffs. 

Leaders have been meeting in Brussels over the US President's return to power, who’s already floating the idea of imposing tariffs on the bloc. 

Trump has today delayed 25% tariffs on Mexico by a month, while Canada has already imposed tariffs of its own in response to the US. 

Europe correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking one option is Italy, who's hoping to play mediator for both sides. 

She says another option is Germany, who's reluctant to impose tariffs because they export so many cars to the US.
