Donald Trump mentioned New Zealand and Australia in a tweet attacking The New York Times and said he was "always available" to their leaders.
The mention came in a series of early morning tweets attacking The New York Times for suggesting his transition team was having problems and that world leaders were having trouble getting in touch with him.
He said the Times was totally wrong and he had spoken to many leaders.
"I have recieved [sic] and taken calls from many foreign leaders despite what the failing @nytimes said. Russia, U.K., China, Saudi Arabia, Japan" he tweeted at 1.17 am.
A few moment later, at 12.27 am he tweeted: "Australia, New Zealand and more. I am always available to them. @nytimes is just upset that they looked like fool in their coverage of me."
