Tina Smith: Zelenskyy Has a Much Better Understanding of the Nuances of American Politics and Prevented to Make Somebody Mad

EXCERPT:

SMITH: "He said that it was a good meeting and that it was productive. And of course, he‘s talking not only about sanctions, but the hope that he can buy some more interceptors to fight off Russian missiles. I was really struck by how Zelenskyy has clearly come to a much better understanding of the nuances of American politics, and he was not going to -- you know, sometimes the worst thing that can happen is that you make somebody mad by accident, not on purpose. And I think that his clear understanding of how American politics is going and his savvy in this moment really, really shone through all the way down to the clothes that he was wearing, which were, I think, probably designed not to raise the ire of the president, who can — who criticized his clothes, I think that very first famous meeting in the White House."
