Utah Senator Mitt Romney said on Friday that he could refuse to support Donald Trump as president in 2020, saying: "I would not be surprised to stay out of this recommendation."
The Republican presidential candidate of 2012, who has not hesitated to criticize Trump, told reporters at his annual E2 summit in Park City, Utah ski resort, that he did not matter at all case.

"I do not think endorsements are worth a thimble," Romney said.
Romney in 2016 refused to support Trump, pronouncing a famous speech in which he called the candidate "fake, scam". He then wrote the name of his wife, Ann, on this ballot.
After his election, Trump envisioned Romney as secretary of state, before choosing Rex Tillerson for the role.
Elected to the Senate of Utah last year, Romney – a former Massachusetts governor – has at times been one of the most savage critics of the GOP president, although he also supported Trump on some issues.
Romney said Friday that he was opposed to Trump's proposal to impose tariffs on Mexico in order to force the US ally to stem the flow of migrants.
"Punishing Mexico in one way or another is, in my opinion, a very bad idea – it's also costly for Americans," Romney said.
