PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP Thanked Cristiano Ronaldo For His Visit To The White House On Tuesday, Joking That His Son Would Now Respect Him “A Little Bit More” Given His Affection For The World Soccer Star.
Quite Why Al Nassr’s Captain Was In Washington D.C. At All Was Never Officially Outlined, Although It Pointedly Coincided With A Reception For Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. The De-Facto Ruler Of Saudi Arabia, Whose National Investment Fund Has A Majority Stake In Al Nassr, Has Been Described By Ronaldo As His “Boss.”
Bin Salman Was Welcomed Up On Stage During A Visit To Discuss “Mutual Investment” Between Saudi Arabia And The United States. Ronaldo Was Not Involved In Those High-Profile Talks And Remained Seated Throughout The Evening’s Black-Tie Event In A Central Table Next To A Saudi Delegate. However, The Portuguese Icon Did Get A Shoutout From The 45th And 47th President From His Lectern.
“My Son Is A Big Fan Of Ronaldo—Wherever Ronaldo Is, Here,” Trump Said, Sparking A Squall Of Applause From The Present Guests. “And Barron Got To Meet Him, And I Think He Respects His Father A Little Bit More Now, Just The Fact That I Introduced You.
“So, I Just Want To Thank You Both For Being Here.”
