US President Donald Trump has used an Independence Day address to vow to defeat the "radical left" as protests sweep the country.

Striking a combative tone, Trump said he would "fight... to preserve the American way of life", while railing at "mobs" targeting historical monuments.

Ahead of his speech, Black Lives Matter protesters gathered nearby. Trump's 2020 election rival Joe Biden said everyone deserved "a full share of the American dream".

The 4th of July holiday marks the nation's declaration of independence from Britain in 1776 and is one of the most important days in the national calendar.
