As President Donald Trump captivated America by sipping water, the South Pacific country with its name branded on Trump's bottle was holding climate talks.

Fiji on Wednesday was presiding over U.N. climate talks held in Bonn, Germany. Trump, who said the U.S. would withdraw from the international Paris climate agreement earlier this year, has not been in attendance, though U.S. officials are reportedly there to represent American interests.

Meanwhile, the U.S. president on Wednesday held a press conference to discuss his recent diplomatic trip through Asia. But what was meant as an opportunity to highlight the president's successes abroad was overshadowed in part by one fact: The president wasn't drinking American.

During his speech, Trump abruptly paused to search for, and then take a swig from, a bottle of Fiji Water. He drank again from the bottle later, and what were likely harmless attempts to take some water breaks became unexpected product placements for a company that has a headquarters in Los Angeles but which ships its water from Fiji.

By nightfall, late-night hosts had worked Trump's viral sipping into comedic fodder.

"He's talking about ... bringing jobs back to America. He's drinking a bottle of water from Fiji. It's Fiji Water," host Jimmy Kimmel said during his show. "He's not even drinking American water during the speech about American [jobs]. I think that does a very good job of summing the man up right there."

Social media users also used the incident to hark back to a 2013 tweet from Trump in which he mocked Republican Sen. Marco Rubio for pausing to drink water while delivering the GOP response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address.

"Next time Marco Rubio should drink his water from a glass as opposed to a bottle—would have much less negative impact," Trump tweeted at the time. He also resurfaced the memory during the 2016 presidential campaign, in which Rubio was one of his competitors.

On Wednesday, Rubio responded to Trump's moment in jest, critiquing the president's drinking "form."

"Similar, but needs work on his form. Has to be done in one single motion & eyes should never leave the camera. But not bad for his 1st time," he wrote.

Even Wikipedia briefly memorialized the moment, with the entry for "Fiji Water" for a time including a line that read, "Fiji water is the official thirst quencher of Donald Trump." By Thursday morning, it had been removed.
