Donald Trump cut short his visit to the UK for the NATO summit this week after a series of humiliating incidents left him isolated and embarrassed by his fellow world leaders.

Despite only being there for only two days, Trump was keen to get back to the US as soon as possible, even cancelling a final press conference.

His hurried exit came after he called Canadian president Justin Trudeau "two-faced" following the publication of a video of world leaders which appeared to show them mocking him behind his back.

But it didn't stop there, Trump was also openly questioned by French President Emmanuel Macron on his comments about ISIS fighters, and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson refused to be photographed with him, fearing that it would taint his image among voters before the December 12th general election in the UK.

The dramatic events seemed to be getting to the president as he was seen sulking throughout the event.

Here are 18 photos showing Trump's humiliation and upset over the two-day summit.

Macron also questioned Trump on his assertion that foreign fighters in ISIS were predominantly from Europe.

"Let's be serious. The very large numbers of fighters you have on the ground are coming from Syria, from Iraq and the region," said Macron.
