What will the meeting between Cristiano Ronaldo and Trump be about?
In a recent interview with journalist Piers Morgan, Cristiano Ronaldo was very complimentary of President Donald Trump, stating his desire to meet him.
— He’s one of the most important people in the world, one of the people I want to meet. I wish one day, if I have the opportunity. He’s one of the people I want to sit down with and have a good conversation with. I really like him, because I think he can make things happen. Donald Trump is one of those people who can help the world – he said.
At the time, Piers Morgan stated that he could make the meeting happen, something that soon became reality.
Previously, CR7 had already sent an autographed Portugal shirt to Trump, delivered by the president of the European Council, Portuguese Antonio Costa, last June.
With the presence of Bin Salman, the meeting should feature the announcement of billion-dollar agreements between the United States and Saudi Arabia.
