Cristiano Ronaldo attended lavish dinner hosted by US President Donald Trump for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman.
Al Nassr, accompanied by his fiancée Georgina Rodríguez, both dressed in black attire, on Tuesday, November 18, attended dinner in the White House as Saudi crown prince visited the United States after seven years.
During the dinner that was attended by numerous high-profile personalities, including Tesla owner Elon Musk, Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Trump praised the five-time Ballon d’Or award winner and thanked him for coming.
The Republican president also revealed that his youngest son, Barron Trump, is CR7’s “big fan” and would be a lot happier with him as he introduced him to Ronaldo.
The 79-year-old said, “Barron got to meet him. And I think he respects his father a little bit more now, just from the fact that I introduced you.”
The 40-year-old footballer represented Saudi football during the event. He joined Saudi club Al Nassr late in 2022 on a reported $200 million (€173m) annual contract.
Recently he extended his stay until 2027 after signing another two-year deal with the club.
It is worth noting that next year Ronaldo will play his career’s last FIFA World Cup that is scheduled to take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
