Later, addressing an audience at a rally, Mr Trump described his former opponent as a "really terrific person", adding: "He ran a really good campaign, it's not easy."

Mr DeSantis also took a swipe at Ms Haley, calling her a member of "the old Republican guard of yesteryear - a repackaged form of warmed-over corporatism".
