When Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the White House in February, he faced more than political challenges—he was publicly criticized by American reporter Brian Glenn for not wearing a suit. Glenn questioned whether Zelenskyy owned a suit, ignoring the ongoing war background behind his military attire.
Their first meeting had been marked by tense exchanges between Zelenskyy, Trump, and others, overshadowing Ukrainian pleas for help.
During Zelenskyy’s return visit to the Oval Office, this time dressed in formalwear, Glenn complimented his appearance and apologized for his earlier remarks.
REPORTER: "You look fabulous in that suit."
POTUS: "That's the reporter that attacked you last time."

Zelenskyy quickly fired back with a witty zinger: “You’re wearing the same suit. I’ve changed, you have not.” The lighthearted moment brought laughs from the room and even President Trump.
The playful comeback went viral on social media, with fans praising Zelenskyy for his quick wit and cool confidence under pressure.
