Carly Fiorina, who is reportedly under consideration to be Donald Trump's director of national intelligence, met with the president Monday and said the pair discussed China as "our most important adversary."
Trump met with the former Hewlett-Packard CEO and his one-time presidential rival to discuss the director of national intelligence position, The New York Times reported, citing a senior transition official.
She did not tell the reporters in New York's Trump Tower if she talked about the job with Trump.
Fiorina said the pair "spent a fair amount of time talking about China as probably our most important adversary and a rising adversary. We talked about hacking, whether it's Chinese hacking or purported Russian hacking."
Fiorina's comments highlighting China as an adversary follow Trump's provocations of Beijing shortly after he was elected by skirting decades of foreign policy precedent.
