President Donald Trump has appeared to acknowledge for the first time that Joe Biden has won the White House, but made clear he would not concede and would kept trying to overturn the election result.

Mr Trump’s statements came in tweets that included several baseless claims about the November 3 presidential vote, which state and federal officials say was safe and secure.
