Ronaldo was invited to an official dinner organized by the American president in honor of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The Al-Nassr star’s visit to the White House sparked mixed reactions and widespread criticism of him on social media.
Cr7 defended by his sisters
Ronaldo attended this prestigious event in the United States alongside numerous business and technology leaders, including Elon Musk, boss of Tesla and Firm X. FIFA President Gianni Infantino was also in attendance. The gala evening aimed to strengthen ties between the United States and Saudi Arabia and marked Ronaldo’s first public appearance on American soil since 2016.
His presence alongside the Saudi delegation underlines his role as spokesperson for the kingdom’s recent diplomatic and sporting investments. During dinner, President Trump said: “You know, my son is a big fan of Ronaldo, wherever he is. Barron had the chance to meet him and I think he respects his father a little more now, just because of the introduction. So I want to thank you both for being here. It’s a real honor. »
Ronaldo’s sisters defend him against criticism
The 40-year-old came under fire for his presence at the White House dinner. However, his sisters, Elma and Katia Aveiro, came to his defense and slammed his critics on social media.
In her Instagram story, Elma wrote: “So these clowns still haven’t understood that he doesn’t care about their opinions? It’s not for those who want it, it’s for those who can take it. They have nothing else to say, dammit! »
Katia, for her part, published a video where she declared:
“It just took work, something many critics have only heard about. A visit to the White House, and voilĂ , an emotional explosion. Hypocrites! Such hysteria has taken hold of people’s minds is frightening. It’s as if Cristiano had announced the end of the world. »
