Donald Trump Calls Angela Merkel To Cancel US Visit As She's On Way To Airport

Donald Trump phoned Angela Merkel to cancel her US visit at the very last minute - while some of her party were already seated onboard the plane.

The German Chancellor was already on her way to the airport on Monday ready to fly to Washington when the plug was pulled on the trip.

The President postponed the trip as the northeast of America prepared to be hit by a huge winter storm.
