Reports: Cristiano Ronaldo visiting White House with Saudi Crown Prince
Ronaldo's visit highlights Saudi Arabia's modernization efforts and US-Saudi ties, with the footballer earning $200 million annually in the Saudi Pro League, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to meet President Donald Trump at the White House, coinciding with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s full day of events in Washington.
- Ronaldo’s role in Saudi sport positions him as a visible symbol of Riyadh’s push into tourism and athletics, aligning with President Donald Trump’s effort to deepen security and economic ties with Saudi Arabia.
- White House officials say Cristiano Ronaldo may attend Oval Office and lunch events, but it’s unclear which meetings he will join and he is not part of the official Saudi delegation.
- The meetings could yield economic and defense agreements and AI-chip deals, while a CIA assessment found Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman likely ordered Khashoggi's assassination and human rights groups criticize 'sportswashing'.
- With the World Cup months away, Ronaldo’s $1.4bn net worth and recent Al-Nassr deal highlight his commercial stature ahead of the June 11, 2026, 48-team tournament.
