'He Looks Beautiful, Very Stylish': Trump Approves Of Zelenskyy's Jacket In White House | Watch

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met US President Donald Trump at the White House on Friday, where he wore almost the same black, suit-style jacket and shirt after a fashion lesson at the Oval Office earlier this year.

Trump praised Zelenskyy’s suit as the Ukrainian President arrived at the White House for the third time since August to hold talks over the ongoing war. “I think he looks beautiful in his jacket. It’s beautiful. I hope people notice — it’s actually very stylish. I like it,” Trump said as he welcomed Zelenskyy.

The suit largely resembled the

same attire Zelenskyy wore the last time he met Trump, marking a notable shift from Zelenskyy’s usual military attire. During his August visit, Trump praised the Ukrainian President’s attire, saying, “I don’t believe it I love it!”

In February, Trump had teased him for wearing a black sweater, joking, “Oh look, he’s all dressed up today!” That Oval Office encounter descended into a shouting match, during which Trump and Vice President JD Vance publicly berated Zelenskyy, partly over his choice of clothes. A right-wing reporter also criticised him for not wearing a suit, to which Zelenskyy responded that he would wear one once the war in Ukraine was over.

Since the February row, Zelenskyy has opted for more formal attire at key events, including at the Vatican and during other NATO meetings. Some European allies have also reportedly advised him on how to better manage his evolving relationship with Trump.

During the meeting on Friday, Trump focused on ending the war in Ukraine, but signalled that he is not ready to sell long-range cruise missile Tomahawk to Kyiv, which the Ukrainians say they desperately need. Following his talks with Zelenskyy for more than two hours, Trump implored both Ukraine and Russia to “stop the war immediately,” even if it means Ukraine conceding territory.
