[World Wide Web Reporter Zhao Jiandong] According to reports from Tass and other foreign media, U.S. President Trump held talks with Ukraine President Zelensky at the White House on the 17th. A white, blue and red striped tie worn by U.S. Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth attracted public attention. This tie, which is consistent with the color of the Russian flag, is particularly eye-catching among the ordinary solid color ties of officials attending the meeting.

According to TASS, according to the images broadcast by U.S. television, Hegerseth sits on Trump's left side, with U.S. Secretary of State Rubio sitting in the middle. The report said that although the U.S. flag also contains the three colors mentioned above, the color arrangement of the Hegerseth collar strips is the same as the color arrangement of the Russian flag, which sparked speculation among netizens.

In response, US Vice President Vance responded on social media X: "Maybe he is wearing the colors of the United States (flag)."

US President Trump held talks with Ukrainian President Zelensky at the White House on the 17th, ruling out the possibility of holding a tripartite meeting between the leaders of the United States, Russia and Ukraine in the near future, and lowering the tone on the possibility that the United States may provide Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine. In the media opening session before the closed-door talks, Trump said that according to his vision, what will be held in Hungary will be a "bilateral meeting" between him and Russian President Vladimir Putin, rather than a tripartite meeting between the leaders of the United States, Russia and Ukraine. Trump also said that he would keep in touch with Zelensky during his meeting with Putin.
