Farage says ‘rude’ Zelenskyy should have worn a suit to stop Trump clash – POLITICO

LONDON — Nigel Farage triggered a backlash Monday after he suggested Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump would have gone better if the Ukrainian president had worn a suit to the White House.

The Reform UK leader and Trump ally said the U.S. president was “incredibly old-fashioned” about people’s clothing in the Oval Office — and suggested this may have fueled Trump’s dramatic outburst, alongside his Vice-President JD Vance, over U.S. support for Ukraine Friday.

“If I turned up at the White House, I’d make sure I was wearing a suit, my shoes were cleaned,” Farage told LBC. He said the Ukrainian president had been unwise to “bowl in and show no respect to a man who we all know is incredibly old-fashioned about this stuff.”
