California Gov. Gavin Newsom said European leaders have "been played" by President Donald Trump, arguing that their approach to dealing with the U.S. president has left them exposed as tensions rise between Washington and its allies, particularly over the former's intention to take over Greenland.
"Europeans should decide for themselves what to do, but one thing they can't do is what they've been doing, and they've been played," Newsom told reporters Tuesday in Davos, Switzerland, according to video shared by journalists covering the World Economic Forum. "This guy's playing folks for fools, and it's embarrassing."
