American journalist Brian Glenn, who in February questioned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about his attire, offered an apology during the leaders' recent meeting in Washington.
The apology came during Zelenskyy's August 18 meeting with US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. Glenn told Zelenskyy he looked great in his suit, to which the Ukrainian president responded: "Yes, but I changed my suit, you didn't."
Trump sided with Glenn during the exchange, adding that he had told Zelenskyy the same thing about his attire.
The 28 February incident occurred when Glenn questioned Zelenskyy about his clothing choice during an Oval Office meeting. "I will wear a suit when this war is over. Maybe something like yours," Zelenskyy had responded at the time.
According to Axios, Zelenskyy's wardrobe choice during that February meeting contributed to Trump's irritation. The publication also reported that White House representatives had inquired with Ukrainian officials whether Zelenskyy would wear a suit for the 18 August meeting with Trump.
The recent Washington meeting between Zelenskyy, Trump, and Vice President J.D. Vance ended in disagreement over the Russian-Ukrainian war, with the Ukrainian president leaving the White House earlier than scheduled.
