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.
You can't let him win," Mr Biden reportedly told the audience.
Mr Biden was in Philadelphia for an early fundraising event with about 100 attendees, having earlier announced new federal funding for the city's fire service.
During the fundraiser, he said that the USA is "the essential nation", and that there would be international outrage if Mr Trump became president again.
Nevertheless, recent polls show the mercurial tycoon beating or tied with Mr Biden, including in the key swing states of Michigan and Georgia. »
