Trump interjected, “I said the same thing.” Turning to Zelenskyy, Trump added, “That’s the one that attacked you last time.”
Zelenskyy responded dryly, “I remember that,” eliciting chuckles from the room. He quipped to Glenn, “You are in the same suit. You see, I changed. You [did] not.”
At the start of the roundtable discussion, Trump was in a generous mood, offering a series of compliments to each visiting EU leader.
Speaking about NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Trump remarked he is “a great gentleman, a great political leader generally.”
Trump described U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer as a “friend,” adding, “People like him a lot, you all like him.” This might surprise many British voters, who often express their dislike for Starmer.
France’s Emmanuel Macron received unusual praise: “President Macron of France who has been with me from the beginning. I liked him from Day 1 and I like him even more now. That’s pretty good, that’s unusual.” Presumably, Trump referred to both becoming country leaders in 2017, not implying he’s Macron’s father!
