Washington, United States:

US President Donald Trump moved closer but stopped just before admitting on Friday that he lost the November 3 election to Democrat Joe Biden and said “time will tell.”

Trump, who refused to admit he lost the election, was speaking at a White House briefing on the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Ideally, we won’t go to a lockdown,” he said. “I will not go. This administration will not go to a lockout.

“I hope that whatever happens in the future who knows which administration it will be, I guess time will tell, but I can tell you that this administration will not go to the lockdown”, Trump said.

Trump then paused as several other speakers addressed the administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic that has claimed more than 243,000 lives in the United States.

Trump then left the event in the White House rose garden without responding to reporters who shouted questions such as, “When will you admit you lost the election, sir?”

The remarks were Trump’s first since Nov. 5, when he falsely claimed to have won and said the election had been “rigged” against him.

US networks projected on Friday that Biden won the state of Georgia, giving him 306 votes in the Electoral College that determines the winner of the White House. Trump finished with 232.
