原文

US President Donald Trump has committed to an "orderly" transition of power a day after his supporters stormed Congress, provoking world condemnation.

Allowed back on Twitter after a suspension, the Republican president decried the rioters' "heinous attack”.

He spoke as top Democrats called for him to be removed from office, just 13 days before he is due to step down.
