US President Donald Trump has called for November's election to be delayed, claiming that it will be "the most inaccurate and fraudulent in history".

In a tweet, Trump cited unsubstantiated concerns about postal voting and added that going ahead with the election as planned would be a "great embarrassment" to America.
