Trump reacts to Rubio’s Maduro-mocking tracksuit stunt

Donald Trump has given his verdict on Marco Rubio's decision to wear a grey tracksuit - almost identical to the one worn by Nicolas Maduro after his capture - en route to Beijing.

On Wednesday (13 May), the secretary of state was pictured in a grey Nike tracksuit by White House communications director Steven Cheung as the president and his posse traveled to China for a summit with Xi Jinping.

“Secretary Rubio rocking the Nike Tech ‘Venezuela’ on Air Force One!” Cheung wrote as he shared a photo of Rubio.

Responding to the outfit choice, Mr Trump said he thought he looked “very good”. He added: “I don’t know if I’d do it… but I thought he looked outstanding.”
