"Even if you disagree with the election result, there will be an orderly transfer of power on January 20," US President Donald Trump said in a statement published by his White House assistant Dan Scavino on Twitter.

"Although I completely disagree with the election result, and the facts confirm this, there will be an orderly transition on January 20," he added.

He continued: "I have always said that we will continue our battle to ensure that only legal votes are counted. While this marks the end of the greatest first term in the history of the presidency, it is only the beginning of our battle to make America great again."

This came after the US Congress approved Joe Biden's victory in the presidential elections with a majority of 306 of the electoral college votes against 232 for outgoing President Donald Trump.
