Trump did not like the outfit of Zelensky in the style of military. He said sarcastically: “He got very well today,” when he welcomed him in the western wing.
Some American officials then believed that the costume issue had some extent affected the catastrophic result of the meeting.
The sources reported that Zelensky would appear in the White House on Monday in the same black jacket he wore at the NATO summit in the NATULAND in June. “It will be a” costume style “, but not a complete costume,” one of the sources said.
At the NATO summit, Zelensky first wore a business style jacket after the invasion of 2022, and US officials said that Trump was satisfied with it.
“Zelensky came as a normal man, not crazy, and was dressed as the one who should be in NATO. … So they had a good conversation,” said the American official then in an interview with Axios.
One Trump adviser, partly jokingly, said Axios that “would be a good sign for peace” if Zelensky wore a suit on Monday, but added: “We will not expect him to do it.”
“It would be great if he dressed a tie, but we do not expect he would do it,” another official said.
The source added that Vice president Jay Di Vance was more annoyed with the appearance and behavior of Zelensky during the last meeting in the oval office than Trump.
According to sources, Zelensky will not wear a tie on Monday.
It is noted that Trump is a great supporter of looking properly, which, in his opinion, for the world leader means wearing a suit. But his dissatisfaction with Zelensky was not only clothing, his advisers say.
American officials say that the Ukrainian president began to appeal better to Trump.
“Let’s pay tribute to him. He is not as bad as it was before,” said Trump’s second advisor.
When asked if the summit would be a repetition last time, the advisor replied: “No, absolutely no.”
“They overcame very much, both. Zelensky will not show him the photos of dead children, and then behave as if it were his fault. The president learned simply, you know, to reject any annoyance and go forward,” he said.
According to the adviser, there will also be European leaders next to Zelensky, “so it will be a completely different atmosphere than during the last meeting.”
Zelensky does not wear a suit from the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine. Once the Poland’s expansion, Andrzej Duda wished that Zelensky would come to one of the summits “in a costume”, which would symbolize the end of the war in Ukraine.
Prehistory:
In the oval office in February, one of the reporters asked Zelensky why he did not wear a suit for a meeting in the office of the “highest level” of the United States.
“Why don’t you wear a suit? Do you have a suit?” Asked the journalist.
“Do you have any problems?” Zelensky said in response.
“Many Americans have problems with those who do not respect the dresscode of the oval office,” the journalist replied.
After that, Zelensky stated that he would wear a suit after the Russo-Ukrainian War ended.
