Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived at the White House on Monday wearing a casual jacket over a collared shirt — a change in appearance that earned unexpected praise from President Donald Trump.
Zelenskyy’s attire had been a matter of diplomatic concern leading into the high-stakes meeting. Just hours earlier, he appeared at the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington wearing a simple t-shirt during a session with Trump’s Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, Breitbart News reported.
That decision triggered last-minute talks over Zelenskyy’s dress for his meeting with the American president. According to officials, the White House made it clear it expected more formal attire for the occasion.
