Zelenskyy replied, “I will wear a costume when this war finishes. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.”
This wasn’t the first time someone had commented on Zelenskyy’s attire during his US trip.
As soon as Zelenskyy responded to the question about his outfit, Donald Trump also took a jab at him, sarcastically saying, “You’re all dressed up today.”
