JAKARTA - President-elect Joe Biden called President Donald Trump's refusal to admit his election defeat as shameful and called the dispute unimportant.
"I just find it embarrassing, to be honest," said Biden when asked what he thought of Trump's reluctance to admit losing the November 3 election.
"How can I say this wisely? I don't think it will help the president's legacy," Biden told reporters in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware.
One week after the US election, Trump has remained mute at the White House by continuing to win the election and filing an election fraud suit that has so far not been supported by solid evidence.
Biden himself generally ignores Trump.
"The fact they don't want to admit we won for now is not very influential in our planning," Biden said.
In his latest series of talks with world leaders, Biden has spoken with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin.
When asked what message he had to them, Biden replied, "I tell them America is back. We will return to the game. Not America alone."
Trump himself is still determined to win. On Tuesday he tweeted, "WE WILL WIN!", Pointing to his unsuccessful lawsuits. "BEWARE OF MULTIPLE VOICE COUNTINGS."
