President Donald Trump had to pause during his speech on the Asia visit to ask for water - doing exactly what he mocked rival Marco Rubio for, during the election campaign.

Mr Trump, who landed back in Washington DC on Tuesday night, addressed the nation from the White House on Wednesday afternoon, speaking at length to recap the achievements of the 12-day trip.

But midway through his speech, he asked for water. He looked under the podium, then said: "It's OK."

Someone then prompted him, handing him a bottle. He paused, and took a deep swig.

Social media was quick to pick up the parallels with Mr Rubio.

Mr Trump, in February 2016, mocked Mr Rubio's habit of drinking from water bottles during the debates.

Mr Trump mimicked him, floundering on stage and theatrically drinking.
