Rapper Nicki Minaj said US President Donald Trump has "changed the energy of the country" as she joined him at a Michigan rally to stump for Republicans ahead of the nationwide midterm elections.

"He's given us a future to look forward to," she said, after Trump praised her figure and called her on stage to speak.

Minaj has called herself Trump's "number one fan" despite criticising some of his policies in his first term.

In Port Huron on Sunday, Minaj, wearing a gold-coloured Gucci-branded suit, led the crowd in chanting Trump's name, and the names of Republican candidates in Michigan.
