On November 19, President Trump wrote on his Truth Social, "Ronaldo is a great friend. It was really nice to meet him at the White House. Very smart and cool!" and then posted a video. The video, which appears to have been created by artificial intelligence (AI), shows President Trump and Ronaldo passing a ball back and forth as they walk around the Oval Office in the White House.

Previously, Ronaldo, who plays for the Saudi club Al Nassr, attended a dinner at the White House with President Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman the previous day. President Trump made a special mention of Ronaldo among the attendees, saying, "My son Barron is a huge fan of Ronaldo." He added, "After I introduced Barron to Ronaldo, I think my son respects me a little more." According to international media outlets such as the BBC, this was Ronaldo's first visit to the United States since 2016. Since a former American model accused him of sexual assault in 2009-a charge he has consistently denied-Ronaldo has refrained from participating in friendly matches and other events held in the United States.
