President Donald Trump welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the White House for a high-stakes meeting as the U.S. president pushed for a deal to end Moscow's war on its neighbor. A host of European leaders joined the pair.

Real America’s Voice reporter Brian Glenn had previously policed the Ukrainian leader's attire in the White House.

Trump appeared to place the onus of ending the war on the Ukrainian leader and said Ukraine should give up Crimea and its hopes of joining NATO — key Kremlin demands.

The White House reportedly pressured Zelenskyy to wear a suit and tie to his Oval Office meeting with Trump. What he wore instead speaks to his strategy.
