I can't meet you vs I won't be able to meet you

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'I can't meet you' implies a current inability to meet,. 'I won't be able to meet you' suggests a future inability. The choice between them depends on the context and the timing of the meeting.
