US President Donald Trump delivered his final speech in office at a farewell ceremony in Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday, ahead of Joe Biden's inauguration.
Trump reportedly rejected remarks for the address which were prepared by his aides.
The outgoing president used the occasion to highlight what he considered the achievements of his administration.
"What we've done has been amazing by any standard. We rebuilt the United States military. We created a new force called Space Force. That in itself would be a major achievement for a regular administration. We were not a regular administration," said Trump.
Trump was due to leave Washington DC on Wednesday heading to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
Earlier this month, Trump announced he would not attend the inauguration of his successor Joe Biden, breaking more than a century-old tradition.
