Fresh out of a meeting with Donald Trump, Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) downplayed any speculation that his visit to Trump Tower represented anything more than a discussion on policy issues and getting to better know the presumptive Republican nominee.

Speaking to reporters in New York, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said the two discussed Russia and China, as well as how the campaign has unfolded up to this point. But Corker wouldn't touch the speculation that he is under consideration for Trump's vice presidential pick.


"I will say that, you know the fact that he's challenging some of the status quo, if you will, it is causing these countries to think a little bit differently about the U.S. And I say that in a positive way," Corker said. "Anyway, we had a good conversation about those types of things and other foreign policy issues."

Despite his high-profile visit, Corker noted that his visit to New York was really not so notable.

"I was up here last Monday meeting with Henry Kissinger. I am in New York a good deal and you know, I think it is certainly worthwhile to sit down and get to know" Trump, Corker said. "Again, I said this when this all came out a couple weeks ago, I have no reason whatsoever to believe that I am being considered for a position like that. You know, I will say that until I am blue in my face."

He continued, "Again, this was a meeting of two people who didn't know each other except over phone calls and getting to know each other and that's it. ... I have no reason to believe that I’m being considered."

Asked whether he would accept a spot in Trump's administration, Corker said he would not "offer conjecture" about something "that I have no reason to believe is even (being) considered," he said.
