Donald Trump calls Justin Trudeau 'two-faced'

From Morning Report, 8:24 am on 5 December 2019

Donald Trump has called Justin Trudeau "two-faced", cancelled a scheduled press conference and left the NATO summit early.

Mr Trump's comment followed a hot mic picking up Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron and Boris Johnson making jokes at the US president's expense at Buckingham Palace last night.

It's been a day of drama, personal tensions and deep ideological division within NATO.
