Republicans are working on a big political summit next week: Donald Trump and Paul Ryan.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee said Friday he will meet next week with the Republican House speaker in the wake of Ryan's comments that he is not yet prepared to back Trump.
Ryan's refusal is "not a good thing" and "something the party should get solved quickly," Trump said Friday on Fox & Friends, adding that he was surprised by the speaker's comments.
“I mean, he talks about unity, but what is this about unity?” Trump said. “With millions of people coming into the party, obviously I’m saying the right thing.”
Ryan said Thursday he is not prepared to endorse Trump because of questions about his commitment to conservatism.
While Ryan said he wants to back Trump, the House speaker told CNN he wants to make sure that the New York businessman runs "a principles campaign that Republicans can be proud about, and that can actually appeal to a majority of Americans."
Trump responded with a statement saying he is not prepared to back Ryan's agenda.
"Perhaps in the future we can work together and come to an agreement about what is best for the American people," Trump said.
The businessman-turned-presidential-candidate also had a tart message for Ryan on Twitter Friday: "Paul Ryan said that I inherited something very special, the Republican Party. Wrong, I didn't inherit it, I won it with millions of voters!"
Ryan aides say they are working on a meeting for next week, while Trump told Fox & Friends it will be mid-week.
“We’re meeting next week,” Trump said. “I believe it’s Wednesday.”
