After the attacks in Paris last week, leaders on both sides of the Atlantic are under pressure to prevent future violence.
In the open-border, economically united Eurozone, there have been calls to protect borders, with French leader Francois Holland saying he will close his country's borders and Germany's Prime Minister Angela Merkel facing down those who want her country to close its doors to refugees.
