network that she and the New York real estate mogul had a "good
conversation."
"I will continue to share my insights with Donald about the need

America is always a strong, stabilizing force around the globe,"
she said.
Trump had tweeted that he would meet Ernst in New Jersey. "She
has done a great job as Senator of Iowa!" he said.
Trump met with Indiana Governor Mike Pence, also mentioned as a
potential running mate, and his wife on Saturday.
Republican sources have told Reuters that former House of
Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich and New Jersey Governor
Chris Christie top Trump's vice presidential short list.
Other names to watch included U.S. Senators Bob Corker of
Tennessee and Jeff Sessions of Alabama and Governor Mary Fallin
of Oklahoma, the sources said.
