Watch the moment Volodymyr Zelensky bursts out laughing as a reporter who previously admonished him for his fashion choice delivers praise.
The Ukrainian President was accused of disrespecting the Oval Office by reporter Brian Glenn from Real America’s Voice during a heated showdown in March where JD Vance and President Trump angrily confronted the wartime leader.

This time around tensions appeared to have simmered and Glenn had more glowing words for President Zelensky.
“You look fabulous in that suit”, he said.

“I remember that”, said President Zelensky, to which the reporter responded: “You look wonderful.”
President Zelensky then took the opportunist to point fun at the reporter, saying he is “wearing the same suit”.
The Ukrainian leader opted for a ‘military-style’ suit this time around after his appearance sparked controversy during his last White House visit.

Glenn, who works for a MAGA-friendly network, grilled the Ukrainian President about his fashion choice last time around.
“Why don’t you wear a suit?”, he asked.
“You’re at the highest level in this country’s office, and you refuse to wear a suit.”
The Ukrainian leader responded: “I will wear costume after this war finishes, yes.
“Maybe something like yours, maybe something better.”
The niceties this time around soon faded as Glenn had a more serious question to ask about President Zelensky’s mandate in his native Ukraine.
The Ukrainian has faced questions stateside about elections in his native country which have not been held since 2019.
Another vote does not appear to be forthcoming given the ongoing war, but President Zelensky said he would be open to elections, if safe.
“We need to work in parliament because during the war you can’t have elections”, he said.
He added it needed to be possible for people to have a democratic, open and legal election.
