Leading Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage has addressed a Donald Trump rally in the US, but stopped short of explicitly endorsing the Republican presidential candidate.

"I could not possibly tell you how to vote in this election," he said.

"But I will say this, if I was an American citizen I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me."

The majority of his speech in Jackson, Mississippi focused on the success of the campaign for Britain to leave the EU.

He framed it as a victory for the anti-establishment movement - a theme that is also popular in Trump's campaign.

"Anything is possible if enough decent people are prepared to stand up against the establishment," Farage said.

Farage condemned President Barack Obama's decision to intervene in the EU referendum and urge Britons to vote Remain.

Earlier, on a visit to Florida, Trump said polls showed him trailing the state.

Mr Farage told the audience at the Mississippi Coliseum that they could challenge the expectations of pollsters as Brexit campaigners had.

He said that he came to the UK with a message of hope that "the little people" could "overcome" big banks and multinationals.
