In a continuation of the back-and-forth between Jon Huntsman and billionaire Donald Trump, the real estate mogul wrote over Twitter that the Huntsman campaign asked to arrange a sit-down meeting with him.

“@JonHuntsman called to set up a meeting. Haven’t returned his call,” Trump tweeted Friday.

The tweet adds to an ongoing feud between the former Utah governor’s campaign and Trump.

Earlier this week Trump tweeted that he wasn’t meeting with Huntsman because he has “zero chance of getting the nomination.” 

Trump has sat down with a number of other Republican presidential candidates, including Herman Cain, Rick Perry and Mitt Romney, but has not met with Huntsman.

Huntsman’s camp on Thu! rsday mocked his presidential rivals for meeting with Trump.
“Unlike Rick Perry and Mitt Romney, Governor Huntsman isn’t wasting his time with Presidential Apprentice, his focus is on real solutions to fix our nation’s economy,” Huntsman spokesman Tim Miller wrote in an email.

Later on that day, a Trump spokesman said to MSNBC that Huntsman’s people asked to meet with him.

“There were several calls made by the Huntsman campaign in which to schedule a face! -to-face meeting with Mr. Trump and Ambassador Huntsman over the last few weeks,” Trump spokesman Michael Cohen said.

MSNBC’s report noted that Cohen gave no proof that Huntsman had been reaching out. Huntsman’s campaign declined to comment on whether what Cohen said was true.
