Cristiano Ronaldo is a great admirer of United States President Donald Trump. In an interview given to British journalist Piers Morgan these days, the footballer spoke enthusiastically about the tenant of the White House: “ He is one of the people who can change or help change the world. And that’s my main goal: to meet Trump and talk about world peace. If you can make it happen, he’s someone I’d really like to sit down with… »
No sooner said than done, or almost. Tuesday, accompanied by his other half Georgina Rodriguez, CR7 was in Washington, in the famous Oval Office, to meet his idol and potentially plan world peace. Of course, this was an aside on the sidelines of the diplomatic visit of Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia.
However, the Portuguese goleador was able to taste the consideration due to the greats of this world. In particular, by receiving a very special gift immortalized in a photo that is causing a lot of talk. The Ronaldo couple indeed received the “Key to the White House”, a key flanked by the presidential seal reserved for the most prestigious guests and those best regarded by the American administration.
A return to the USA that does not go unnoticed
“ Thank you Mr. President for your invitation and the warm welcome that you and the First Lady gave to me and my future wife. Everyone has something meaningful to give and I am ready to contribute so that we inspire new generations to build a future defined by courage, responsibility and lasting peace », welcomed the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
As a reminder, Cristiano Ronaldo, called to play the 2026 World Cup with Portugal next summer on the continent, had not set foot in the United States for many years, a time worried by the rape complaint of former model Kathryn Mayorga. Facts which date back to 2009 and for which the complainant would have received compensation in exchange for her silence. In 2022, after four years of proceedings, the Nevada federal court dismissed the case.
