However, this sparked controversy, with some accusing him of being \u201cdisrespectful\u201d for not donning a traditional suit.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"497\" data-end=\"797\">As the two leaders entered the West Wing, Trump made a pointed remark:\u00a0<em data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"599\">\u201cHe is all dressed up today.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0The comment set the tone for what would become a heated encounter.
