Mr. Trump praised Ronaldo.

US President Donald Trump praised Cristiano Ronaldo during a reception at the White House on the morning of November 19th.

The appearance of Ronaldo, one of the biggest sporting icons on the planet, at the White House is expected to be a highlight of the US's World Cup preparations.

Ronaldo was present at the White House on the occasion of President Trump's meeting with Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Ronaldo, along with a group of players currently playing in the Saudi Pro League, had the honor of attending this reception.

According to Fox News , in his welcoming remarks, Trump showered CR7 with praise in front of a large audience: "You know, my son is a huge fan of Cristiano Ronaldo. We have Ronaldo here today!"

Mr. Trump continued humorously: “I think now my son will respect his dad a little more because I introduced him to Ronaldo. Thanks Cristiano for coming, it was a real honor!”

Ronaldo's presence at the White House once again demonstrates the influence of the 40-year-old player that extends far beyond the football field, especially in the context of his role as an ambassador for Saudi Arabian football since moving to Al Nassr in late 2022.

Previously, the Portuguese superstar had gifted President Trump a signed jersey with the message: "President Donald J. Trump, playing football for peace." During their exchange, Ronaldo stated that his goal was to promote a message of global peace and that he saw President Trump as someone who could make a difference.
