Eurozone nations discuss Greece's debt problem

Eurozone finance ministers are meeting in Brussels to discuss Greece's debt problem. They're trying to decide whether the country's spending cuts will be enough to reduce its massive deficit over the next three years.

Eurozone nations pledged last week to help Greece if necessary, to protect the financial stability of the euro - but they did not say how they would help the country.

Greece's debt problem has shaken the entire eurozone and undermined the shared currency.

Market worries of a default have hiked the cost of Greek borrowing in recent months and caused the euro to slide to a near nine-month low against the dollar.
