US presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he will not withdraw from the race in phone interviews with US media, the BBC News reported.

Trump has been under pressure after a tape of him making lewd sexual comments and bragging about groping and kissing women emerged on Friday.

He said there was "zero chance I'll quit" and he was getting "unbelievable" support.

Top Republicans condemned his remarks in the video. Trump's election rival Hillary Clinton called them "horrific".

His running mate Mike Pence said he was "offended" by Trump's video but grateful he had expressed remorse and apologised to the American people.
