After the lessons from his previous meeting with U.S. President Trump, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has "changed his appearance."

The U.S. president welcomed the Ukrainian leader at the West Wing entrance. When Zelenskyy's vehicle stopped, Trump waved a fist and then shook his hand.
When asked about the message he conveyed to the Ukrainian people, Trump said, "We love them." Then they went inside.
After wearing a T-shirt earlier that day, Zelenskyy dressed more formally for other meetings.
At the Ukrainian embassy in Washington, he greeted European leaders in a black buttoned shirt and a black suit jacket.
Last time he entered the White House, his casual clothes became a point of annoyance for Trump.
