Prior to the violent and unprecedented verbal quarrel that broke out on Friday evening in front of the media and in the sight of millions around the world, between US President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian guest Volodimir Zellinski, paved a small mixture at the White House door for this argument.
During Trump’s reception, he initiated him as soon as he left the car that took him, saying in a somewhat satirical tone: “Look at him in all his elegance … beautiful clothes”, referring to Zelinski’s wearing unofficial clothes, knowing that since the outbreak of the war in his country, he has been appearing in clothes of more military nature.
The Ukrainian president appeared with black shirts and shirt with a small logo for his country.
While the American President wore an official unique in a red tie.
A provocative question
But the matter did not stop here. When the two leaders sat to receive the questions of the journalists, one of the correspondents initiated him with a tone described as provocative, asking, “Why don’t you wear an official uniform? Do you not have one, the Americans are upset when a guest comes to raise a place in the country with informal clothes.”
It was not from Zelinski, but he answered that he would wear an uniform when the war ends in his country, and now they have enough problems.
However, the journalist was not able, and he interrupted him, stressing that the Americans also have problems, but they wear the glows when they come to the highest official places.
Then Trump entered the line, confirming again with a slight smile that his guest dress was beautiful and liked.
The Ukrainian president responded with one word, “Oh, really?!”. The tension seemed clear
At that time, it seemed clear that the tension began leaking to the atmosphere before the congestion exploded between the two men, to support the advisor of President Jd Vans, who poured the oil on the fire, asking a shter from Zelinski thanked Trump for all the help he provided to his country and still.
While silence and despair appeared clear on the tribute of the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who sat without uttering a lip, sorping the face.
In the context, two informed sources confirmed that one of the small factors that sparked Trump’s anger is the fact that Zellinski did not wear a gas, according to Axios.
They also added that Trump’s advisers told the Zellinski team on several occasions that he would prefer to give up his military dress when visiting the White House.
But it is certainly further, as the relations between Washington and Kiev took a tense trend during the last period, especially after the phone call between Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, as well as the summit between the delegations of the two countries in Saudi Arabia on February 18.
If Zellinski publicly expresses his annoyance with this contact and meeting alike, considering that it is not permissible to discuss any matter related to his country without the presence of representatives of it.
