Trump has given one last recorded address before he leaves office tomorrow

US President Donald Trump has given one last recorded address before he leaves office tomorrow, but still without actually conceding he lost to Joe Biden.

Trump says he's truly proud of what his administration has achieved during his time in office.

As Trump spoke, the number of people who have died from COVID-19 in the U-S topped 400,000.

Last year Trump predicted the virus would just disappear.
