Donald Trump says he's done appearing on Fox News shows for the "foreseeable future" because he doesn't like the network's coverage of his presidential campaign.

The billionaire businessman and leading Republican candidate tweeted on Wednesday that Fox News had been treating him "very unfairly" and that he was going to stop appearing on its shows.

But a Fox News spokeswoman says Trump only announced his boycott after the channel cancelled a scheduled Trump appearance on The O'Reilly Factor Thursday.

She said in a statement that when coverage doesn't go Trump's way, he engages in personal attacks on Fox anchors and hosts.

The behaviour had "grown stale and tiresome", she said.
