President Donald Trump is leaving the NATO summit in London earlier than planned on Wednesday after a video surfaced that appeared to show other world leaders mocking him.

In a series of tweets, Trump announced he will attend another set of meetings but is scrapping a final press conference and heading straight back to Washington.

"When today's meetings are over, I will be heading back to Washington," Trump said. "We won't be doing a press conference at the close of NATO because we did so many over the past two days."

Prior to the video, Trump was already having a rocky time at the summit, publicly sparring with both French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Trump on Wednesday called Trudeau "two-faced" after the video surfaced.
