The president said he will leave the White House if the Electoral College votes for president-elect Joe Biden.

Mr Trump made the comments at the White House after speaking to US troops during a traditional Thanksgiving Day address.

How does The Electoral College work?

Mr Biden, who is due to be inaugurated on 20 January, won 306 Electoral College votes to Mr Trump’s 232 following the 3 November election.

Despite the popular vote being settled, the US system means the formal process of the Electoral College choosing a president will not happen until 14 December.

Mr Trump continues to claim, without evidence, that the election was skewed by widespread fraud.
