Cristiano Ronaldo will be received this Tuesday by Donald Trump, in an audience scheduled for noon in Washington (4pm in Portugal), the information was provided by Jake Traylor, journalist at MSNowNews. The moment gains particular relevance because it coincides with Portugal’s recent qualification for the 2026 World Cup, which will be played precisely in the United States.
Trump’s agenda for this Tuesday also includes a meeting with Mohammed bin Salman, crown prince of Saudi Arabia and president of the Public Investment Fund that controls the country’s main clubs, including Al Nassr, where Ronaldo has played since 2023.
In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Cristiano Ronaldo confessed his admiration for Donald Trump and admitted that he would like to talk to him personally, suggesting that there are themes that they both “share”, but the nature of which he preferred not to reveal. In that same conversation Ronaldo recalled having signed a Seleção shirt — delivered by António Costa to Trump — with a message dedicated to promoting peace.
In 2018, during a meeting with Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, Trump even mentioned the name of Cristiano Ronaldo, asking in a relaxed tone if the player could run for President of the Republic. Marcelo responded at the time that “Portugal is not like the United States of America”in an exchange of ironies that was recorded.
