'Unpresidented' Trump tweet on China sets off deluge of mockery

Washington

US President-elect Donald Trump got plenty of attention - but not the kind he was looking for - after a tweet on Saturday calling out China for its seizure of an unmanned US naval probe.

"China steals United States Navy research drone in international waters - rips it out of water and takes it to China in unpresidented (sic) act," the real estate magnate wrote on his favourite platform.
