One of the greatest footballers on earth will be meeting one of the most powerful men on earth, as Cristiano Ronaldo will fly to the USA to meet President Donald Trump.
The Portuguese maestro recently did an interview with Piers Morgan where he conveyed his admiration for the US President.
Also during the interview, the record goal scorer in international football had expressed his wish to meet the President one day. He told Piers Morgan:
“Here, in the United States – wherever it happens, I’d like to meet him.
“I hope to sit down with him someday because he’s one of those people I really like. I think he can make things happen, and I respect people like that.”
As per the Mirror, Donald Trump will meet Cristiano Ronaldo on the same day he will welcome Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Ronaldo also said that he believes that the US President and he shares some similar qualities. He said:
“I hope the world finds a path to peace soon. That’s what I’m looking for. And someday, I’ll tell him what we have in common. But I’ll keep it to myself until that moment.”
The Portuguese legend also said that he would like to talk about bringing peace to the world while having a conversation with Donald Trump. He said:
“If the world is at peace, that’s our goal. He’s one of the people who can change or help change the world.
“And that’s my main objective: to meet Trump and talk about world peace. If you can make it happen, he’s someone I’d really like to sit down with.”
Cristiano Ronaldo will revisit the US in June 2026, as his national team has confirmed their spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup following a thumping 9-1 victory over Armenia.
However, following his red card against Ireland, Ronaldo’s participation in the tournament remains in doubt.
