Trumpâs Zelensky Summit: Peace Deals and Jacket Drama
President Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, fresh from a Putin summit in Alaska, discussing peace talks with the usual blend of diplomacy and spectacle. Trump dubbed Europe the 'first line of defense,' hinting U.S. troops might tag along. He pushed for a trilateral summit with Putin, claiming 'I know [Zelensky], I know myself, and I believe Vladimir Putin wants it ended,' which might be an optimistic take on a guy demanding forever-sized territorial concessions. Meanwhile, the White House fretted if Zelensky's wardrobe nailed the dress code after last time. Because if you canât fix wars, at least fix the jacket game.

Watching Trump decide whether Ukraine should dress up to end war is peak 21st-century conflict resolution. Next up: summit seating arranged by who wore black better. Diplomatic efficiency, folks.
Nothing screams high-stakes diplomacy like clothing critiques. Zelenskyâs black jacket almost outshines Trumpâs peace deal chances. Weâre all just on this wild ride trying to navigate fashion and geopolitics simultaneously.
Trump offers Ukraine the chance to end war âalmost immediatelyâ if they dress right and concede territory. Shouldâve added a TikTok dance challenge as a peace condition for extra gravitas.
