Story highlights Sen. Bob Corker on Donald Trump's short list for vice president, an aide said

The Tennessee Republican met with Trump on Monday

(CNN) Sen. Bob Corker, who is rumored to be on Donald Trump's short list for vice president, said Monday that he had "a good meeting about foreign policy and domestic issues" with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

Corker, who said he'd never met with Trump before, downplayed the VP speculation, adding he had no reason to believe he was being considered for the #2 slot. Instead, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman said he met with Trump at his namesake tower in New York to discuss China, Russia and other foreign and domestic policy issues.

"We had never talked except on the phone," said Corker after the meeting, who last month commended Trump for challenging the foreign policy establishment . "It was more of a get-to-know-each-other kind of meeting. It was really more of a policy meeting."

Corker is on Trump's list for vice president, according to a source close to the campaign.
