Trump immediately comments on Zelensky’s outfit as pair meet at White House for critical Ukraine talks

Donald Trump greeted Volodymyr Zelensky by appearing to mock his outfit as the Ukrainian president arrived for talks at the White House on Friday, 28 February.

Their meeting comes after the US president falsely accused Mr Zelensky of being a dictator - an accusation Mr Trump later denied ever having levelled at his Ukrainian counterpart.

As Mr Zelensky arrived on Friday, Mr Trump remarked that he was “all dressed up today.”

Mr Zelensky travelled to the US to sign a critical minerals deal as Kyiv works to regain US backing against Russia’s invasion.
