Gov. Mary Fallin met with presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump Tuesday in New York.She is one of several governors who met with Trump.Fallin endorsed Trump in early May, saying she supports him 100 percent."I know that our nation wants a change," Fallin said in May. "Donald Trump has led a movement across our nation that will cause that change to happen, so I'm 100 percent behind him."After offering her support, she said she was honored to be in the discussion as Trump's potential vice president candidate but had not been approached by the Trump campaign about it."It's a great honor just to be mentioned," Fallin said. "My first and foremost goal, right now, is to finish our legislative session, but if I were to receive a call that said, 'I need you to help make America great again,' I'd be happy to take that call."Fallin was named the co-chair of the Republican National Convention Platform Committee in late May.Fallin released the following statement about the meeting:“The meeting went very well. It was an opportunity for Donald Trump to hear from the governors and for the governors to talk with their political party’s presumptive presidential nominee. We discussed several issues, such as jobs and the economy, and what we as governors have done to improve the business climates in our states. Also, in the aftermath of a horrific attack upon our fellow Americans in Orlando, we discussed the importance of strengthening national security and building a stronger national defense. We shared a common concern for the need for more thorough background checks on refugees to verify their identities before they are allowed to enter the United States. And we also agreed that the Obama administration during the past eight years has over-reached by passing cumbersome regulations that amount to a power grab that hurt state economies and destroy jobs.”
