The former US president has revealed that he is considering sharing the Republican ticket with South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem in next year's poll, although he doesn't think it will make much of a "difference" who he asks to be his vice president.

Trump told NBC's Meet the Press: "She's been a great governor.

"She gave me a very full-throated endorsement, a beautiful endorsement actually. And, you know, it's been a very good state for me.

"And certainly she'd be one of the people I'd consider, or for something else maybe. But we have a lot of people. We have a lot of great people in the Republican Party."

Meanwhile, Trump said that he is against an age limit for running for the US presidency as he argued that some of the greatest world leaders had been in their 80s.

The 77-year-old politician - who is three years younger than White House incumbent Joe Biden - said: "A lot of people say it's not constitutional to do it. But I would be for testing, to test to make sure everyone's just fine.

"Some of the greatest world leaders have been in their 80s. I'm not anywhere very near 80, by the way."

Trump added: "I don't think Biden's too old.

"But I think he's incompetent, and that's a bigger problem."
