Trump, Zelensky Trade Suit Jokes During White House Meeting

US President Donald Trump opened his Oval Office photo-op with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday by complimenting the Ukrainian leader’s black suit, telling him, “I don’t believe it… I love it!” Zelensky replied the outfit was “the best I have.” The exchange marked a contrast with the Ukrainian president’s February visit, when he wore an olive polo shirt and was questioned about his casual attire. Brian Glenn, the Real America’s Voice correspondent who posed that earlier question, also praised Zelensky’s appearance, saying, “You look fabulous in that suit.” Trump interjected, noting Glenn was “the one that attacked you last time.” Zelensky answered with a light jab of his own: “You are in the same suit. I changed, you did not.” Laughter from the two presidents and reporters briefly punctuated the otherwise formal setting. The cordial moment came at the start of a day of meetings expected to focus on efforts to end Russia’s war in Ukraine. Neither leader announced concrete outcomes during the brief media availability, and substantive discussions continued behind closed doors.
