Donald Trump had a curious moment during the official dinner held at the White House with the Saudi delegation. Among the guests was Cristiano Ronaldo, a presence that led the President of the United States to make a good-humored reference to the captain of the National Team.
According to Trump, the meeting between Ronaldo and his youngest son, Barron, was a source of great excitement at home. The president explained that the young man is an open admirer of the Portuguese striker and couldn’t resist a joke: he said that Barron started to “respect his father a little more” after being introduced to his idol.
Cristiano was present accompanied by Georgina Rodríguez, wearing a bow instead of a tie, at a dinner that brought together prominent figures from the political, business and sporting world. The event coincided with the state visit of a Saudi delegation led by Mohammed Bin Salman, president of the sovereign wealth fund that owns Al Nassr, the club where Ronaldo plays.
The player’s trip to the White House was not publicly detailed, but it is known that the Portuguese player had recently expressed his desire to meet Trump. In the same interview in which he spoke about this, he mentioned that he appreciates people capable of “making things happen”, placing the North American president in that group.
