Donald Trump has publicly praised soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo following a recent visit to Washington DC. Ronaldo attended a high-profile dinner alongside notable guests and was personally shown around the White House and Oval Office by Trump. The former president shared on social media that Ronaldo called to thank him for the tour, describing the athlete as an 'incredible guy' both on and off the field.

During the visit, Trump presented Ronaldo with a golden key to the White House, a unique honor that Trump designed himself and has only given to a select few. Photos from the event show Ronaldo enjoying the dinner and holding a model of a stealth bomber, referencing recent military actions. This marks Ronaldo's first public appearance in the United States since 2017.
