A budding friendship? This is what this video published by the White House this Wednesday suggests. She shows Cristiano Ronaldoaccompanied by his wife Georgina Rodriguez, stroll alongside Donald Trump and speak briefly with the American head of state. The two men then burst into a burst of laughter.
The former Real Madrid player took advantage of the trip to Washington by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Ben Salman, to meet the American president. This meeting comes less than a year before the next World Cup on United States soil, for which Portugal is already qualified and which will mark the last World Cup for the five-time winner of the Ballon d’Or.
“You know, my son is a big fan of Ronaldo”Donald Trump said in his speech before the dinner, adding that his son Barron, 19, had the opportunity to meet the superstar. “ I think he respects his father a little more now.”he continued, smiling.
In an interview recently given to Piers Morgan, a British journalist, and published on YouTube, Cristiano Ronaldo gave his opinion on Donald Trump. The one who now plays at Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabiahad estimated that the President of the United States was “a person who can help change the world”. A few months earlier, the footballer had given the tenant of the White House a signed Portuguese team jersey, on which was written: “To President Donald Trump. Play for peace. The jersey was given to the Republican leader through Antonio Costa, former Prime Minister of Portugal and now President of the European Council. “I like that, playing for peace”declared the Head of State upon receiving the gift.
