US President Donald Trump says he intends to run for re-election in the 2020 election.

The Mail on Sunday newspaper reported on an interview the president gave to Piers Morgan during his British visit on Friday.

When asked if he was going to run again, Trump said: "Well I fully intend to. It seems like everybody wants me to," the newspaper said.

Trump said he did not see any Democrat who could beat him.

"I don't see anybody. I know them all and I don't see anybody."

In the interview Trump broke royal protocol by disclosing details of his conversation with the Queen.

He confirmed they had discussed the thorny subject of Brexit.

"She said it's a very - and she's right - it's a very complex problem, I think nobody had any idea how complex that was going to be... Everyone thought it was going to be 'Oh it's simple, we join or don't join, or let's see what happens.'"

Speaking of the 92-year-old Queen, Trump remarked on her appearance.

"She is an incredible woman, she is so sharp, she is so beautiful, when I say beautiful - inside and out. That is a beautiful woman."

When asked about North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Trump said: "I get along with him great, yeah. He's very smart, great personality, he's funny and tough, good negotiator."

Pressed on whether Kim was 'a ruthless dictator', Trump said: "Sure he is, he's ruthless, but so are others."
