All business: Suit-clad Zelensky enters White House through side door, to no fanfare

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday arrived at the White House to meet with President Donald Trump, but entered through a side door rather than the West Wing portico, marking a moment of minimal fanfare.

It is not uncommon for the president to greet foreign dignitaries at the West Wing portico, sometimes even with a band present. But Zelensky's arrival, wearing a suit, comes amid a busy day for Trump, who is also set to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Zelensky's attire is of note primarily due to his penchant for wearing a drab, olive green, sweatshirt and myriad military garb amid the war. He previously attracted press attention for not wearing a suit while in the White House. 

In a subsequent visit, however, Real America's Voice reporter Brian Glenn, who had previously inquired about his lack of a suit, complimented him on his formal wear in a humorous exchange.
