Press conference ended at 5:12pm.
On their way out, President Trump said President Zelenskyy noted how nice Mar-a-Lago is and that he may not want to go back to the White House. Zelenskyy said he would like to go to the White House and they laughed.
Trump also asked the press if we had a good lunch and said "I hope you enjoyed it."
Some color during the presser--
Zelensky looked over at the US press and shrugged when Trump said you saw what happened at the meeting at the White House when Ukraine wasn’t ready for peace.
He also smiled and chuckled when Trump said "it sounds very strange" but that Russia wants to help Ukraine rebuild.
Pool is moving to vans.
