"Time will tell": Donald Trump spoke for the first time on Friday about the possibility of a US presidential defeat against Joe Biden.

The outgoing president was speaking from the gardens of the White House on the Covid-19 pandemic, his first public speech since the announcement of his defeat, which he fiercely refuses to recognize.

While the number of cases of contamination with the new coronavirus is clearly on the rise in the country, Donald Trump wanted to rule out the possibility of confinement.

"I think time will tell which administration we have, but whatever happens in the future, who knows, I can tell you that this administration will not impose lockdown," he said, much less categorical than in his tweets denouncing an election "rigged".

Announcements that support Biden's victory

The Republican did not mention further the presidential election during his speech, concluded without answering journalists' questions, an exercise to which he nevertheless very regularly lent himself during his mandate.

The last two states in which the results of the November 3 election had not yet been announced, Georgia and North Carolina, were attributed to Joe Biden and Donald Trump respectively by the American mainstream media on Friday.
