Cristiano Ronaldo visited the White House this week, where he was welcomed by Donald Trump and received a rare golden key to the residence, a personal honor designed by Trump himself. The meeting took place during a delegation visit led by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince, and marked Ronaldo's first public appearance in the United States since longstanding allegations against him resurfaced. Trump praised Ronaldo publicly, sharing photos and expressing admiration for the soccer star, who in turn has spoken positively about Trump in recent interviews. The visit also included a tour of the Oval Office and a discussion about military operations, as well as a gathering with other notable figures such as Elon Musk. Ronaldo's return to the United States comes ahead of Portugal's scheduled matches in the country, amid ongoing speculation about his eligibility for upcoming competitions.
