This is embarrassing.
Trump was asked about the video while taking questions from reporters ahead of a meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany.
“Well, he’s two-faced,” the president said. After a long pause, he added, “He’s a nice guy. I find him to be a very nice guy.”
Trump said the comments had stemmed from his pressuring Mr. Trudeau to increase Canada’s military spending to 2 percent of its economic output. (They weren’t)
Caught on tape as pool was ushered out, @POTUS saying “That was funny when I said the guy is two-faced”, referring to his comment about @JustinTrudeau who was caught gossiping about Trump with @EmmanuelMacron and @BorisJohnson

Butthurt, the president is coming home…
….When today’s meetings are over, I will be heading back to Washington. We won’t be doing a press conference at the close of NATO because we did so many over the past two days. Safe travels to all!

After video surfaced that appeared to show the French, Canadian and British leaders mocking his long q&a sessions yesterday, Trump says his scheduled press conference is off and he’ll go directly to Washington after his meetings instead.
