Foreign leaders have repeatedly implored Joe Biden not to let Donald Trump win next year's US election, the president has claimed.

"There's not an international event that I've attended – not one – where the rest of the world doesn’t come up to me – leaders, no matter what country they’re from – and say, 'You can't let him win.
