https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-48622001US President Donald Trump has caused a splash on Twitter after he tweeted to say he had met the "Prince of Whales".
Mr Trump made the mistake, intending to refer to Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, in response to articles following an ABC news interview.
He said he would listen if a foreign government gave damaging information about a political rival without necessarily reporting it to the FBI.
In the tweet, he accused media reporting the statement of "fake news".

Trump would be really jealous at her obvious pleasure in someone else.
