US President-elect Donald Trump has met one of his fiercest critics, Mitt Romney, with reports suggesting he may be considered for secretary of state.

Neither man gave details of their 80-minute meeting on Saturday. Mr Romney said the talks had been "far-reaching".
During the campaign, Mr Romney called Mr Trump a "fraud", while Mr Trump said Mr Romney's unsuccessful presidential bid in 2012 had been "the worst ever".
Mr Trump has settled several posts so far, a number of them controversial.
The nominee for attorney general, Jeff Sessions, was rejected from becoming a federal judge in 1986 because of alleged racist remarks.
Lt Gen Michael Flynn, the new national security adviser, has drawn concern over his strident views on Islam.

On leaving Mr Trump's golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, Mr Romney did not answer questions on whether he would accept a cabinet position, or whether he still thought his host was "a con artist".
He said only that they had held a "far-reaching conversation with regards to the various theatres of the world" in which the US had an interest.

In March, Mr Romney said Mr Trump had neither "the temperament nor the judgement to be president", accusing him of bullying, misogyny and dishonesty.
"Prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished" if Mr Trump became the nominee, he said.
Mr Trump responded by mocking Mr Romney, calling him a "failed candidate" and a "choke artist".
However, US media suggest the role of secretary of state could be up for grabs. In the past, Mr Romney has taken a far more critical line on Russia than that suggested by Mr Trump.
The other key appointments so far are Mike Pompeo as CIA director and Stephen Bannon as chief strategist.
Separately on Friday, Mr Trump settled three lawsuits for fraud brought against him over his Trump University.

He tweeted on Saturday that he had settled "for a small fraction of the potential award because as President I have to focus on our country".
In settling the class-action lawsuits, Mr Trump "was willing to sacrifice his personal interests, put this behind him, and move forward", his lawyer said.
Mr Trump had been sued by former students who paid $35,000 (£28,000) for property "secrets" from his "hand-picked" instructors.
The lawsuits alleged the school had misled students and failed to deliver on its promises.
