On the way from the White House to Florida, Trump says he wants to see an immediate ceasefire in the war in Ukraine, but he doubts Zelensky's desire.

He doesn't look like a man who wants peace, claims Trump and asserts that he himself stands for the opposite.

The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says that Zelensky should apologize for the verbal exchange with Trump and the collapsed meeting.

Apologize for turning this into the fiasco it became, says Rubio to CNN.

There was no reason for him to go in there and become antagonistic, says the Secretary of State about Zelensky.

Talking aggressively about Russia does not help the efforts to stop the war, emphasizes Rubio.

The way you end it is by getting Russia to the table to talk.

You're not going to do it by using insults.
