Cristiano Ronaldo visited Washington D.C. on Tuesday, joining U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office for a meeting that stole headlines across the globe.
Just two weeks after the five-time Ballon d’Or winner publicly supported President Trump, Ronaldo was welcomed to the White House with open arms. The visit coincided with the arrival of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who returned to the United States for the first time in seven years.
The Saudi Crown Prince has ties with Ronaldo, who has been the face of the Saudi Pro League since he joined Al Nassr in 2023. The Portuguese superstar has previously been credited with growing the league and enticing more of Europe’s once-biggest stars to play in Saudi Arabia.
Although Ronaldo was not involved in discussions between President Trump and Bin Salman, he still got to spend quality time with the leaders at the White House and the evening’s black-tie event.
The day produced a wealth of viral moments, including photographs that documented nearly every move Ronaldo and President Trump made in the U.S. capital.
