Washington - US President Donald Trump dramatically cut short his attendance at the Nato summit on Wednesday after accusing Canada’s prime minister of being "two-faced".
Trump cancelled a press conference and headed back to Washington after footage emerged of Justin Trudeau and other world leaders apparently gossiping about him. The embarrassing video showed Mr Trudeau – along with Boris Johnson, French president Emmanuel Macron and Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte – standing in a huddle drinking at Tuesday night’s Buckingham Palace reception. Although Mr Trump was not mentioned by name, they appeared to mock the US President and his long impromptu press conferences earlier in the day.
When asked about the footage and Mr Trudeau at the Nato summit in Watford on Wednesday, Mr Trump responded: "Well, he’s two-faced." He also announced he was cancelling a scheduled press conference for later that afternoon, saying: "We’ll go directly back. I think we’ve done plenty of news conferences." The fractious comments came as Mr Trump braced himself for Congress to hold its first hearing in its ongoing impeachment inquiry.
