STORYLINE:

U.S. President Donald Trump ruled out any chance of immediate in-person talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after their tense shouting match at the White House on Friday.

"Well, he says he wants it now. He wants to come back right now. But I can't do that," Trump told reporters on Friday evening as he was leaving the White House to spend the weekend in Florida.

"Well, he says he wants it now; he wants to come back right now, but I can't do that. They should have an immediate ceasefire; that was the other thing. He didn't want to do about ceasefire. A ceasefire could take place immediately. A contract, if you want to end the war, you sign up an agreement, that's going to take a period of time, it takes time.
I want it to end immediately, and I think if you had a ceasefire, it would be a ceasefire, real one that would end it. But he doesn't want to do that, that's fine, do a better deal."

Meanwhile, in an interview with Fox News on Friday night, Zelensky repeatedly said he would not apologize to Trump for the unexpected blowup between the two sides.

But he noted that this kind of spat "is not good for both sides."

Earlier in the day, a press conference at the White House where Trump and Zelensky were scheduled to sign the U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal was canceled, following the stunning clash between the two inside the Oval Office, which ended with Zelensky leaving the meeting.
