The President tends to go a bit Sicilian when he's slighted: HENRY DEEDES watches as Donald Trump settles a score

Donald Trump has claimed he received "deep respect" during this week's Nato summit in London, despite a viral video showing world leaders laughing at him for his lengthy press conferences.

Mr Trump lashed out at the press coverage of his trip in a tweet, in which he said the London trip was "VERY successful", even though the summit was outwardly marked by the video as well as tension between the president and some of America's closest allies including French president Emmanuel Macron and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.

"The Fake News Media is doing everything possible to belittle my VERY successful trip to London for NATO. I got along great with the NATO leaders, even getting them to pay $130 Billion a year more, & $400 Billion a year more in 3 years," Mr Trump tweeted. "No increase for US, only deep respect!"

 

In the video, Mr Macron and Mr Trudeau can be seen discussing the US president's lengthy press conferences over drinks in Buckingham Palace, alongside prime minister Boris Johnson and Princess Anne.

The video, which was distributed originally by Canadian news outlets, provided a rare glimpse into the way in which world leaders speak to one another about the polarising president who has taken a tough stance on the military alliance the nations had come together to discuss.
