Details: Trump's advisors have repeatedly told Zelensky's team that it would be more respectful for the Ukrainian president to avoid military-style attire during his visit to the White House.
Zelensky arrived at the White House in a more formal black outfit featuring the national emblem of Ukraine, but without a suit.
"He dressed up quite nicely today," – remarked Trump as he shook hands with Zelensky at the entrance to the West Wing of the White House.
Vladimir Zelensky has not worn a suit since the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. At one point, Polish President Andrzej Duda expressed a desire for Zelensky to attend one of the summits "in a suit," which would symbolize the end of the war in Ukraine.
In the Oval Office on Friday, one of the reporters asked Zelensky why he did not wear a suit for a meeting in the "highest-level" office of the United States.
"Why aren’t you wearing a suit? Do you have a suit?" – the journalist asked.
"Do you have a problem with that?" – Zelensky responded.
"Many Americans have issues with those who do not respect the dress code of the Oval Office," – the journalist replied.
Following this, Zelensky stated that he would wear a suit after the Russian-Ukrainian war concludes.
