President Donald Trump will host soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo for a brief meeting at the White House on November 18, 2025, coinciding with discussions on U.S.-Saudi arms deals and economic ties with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

According to White House correspondent Jake Traylor: “Trump is expected to host soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo at the White House tomorrow, according to three White House officials. Ronaldo, who plays in the Saudi Pro League, is expected to visit the WH on the same day where Trump will host the Saudi crown prince.”

Ronaldo, playing for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, recently scored twice to help Portugal qualify for the 2026 World Cup co-hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
