Al-Nassr star and captain Cristiano Ronaldo has publicly praised United States President Donald Trump, describing him as one of the few leaders capable of transforming the world.
In a recent sit-down with Piers Morgan, the Portuguese football icon made the bold statement:
“Donald Trump is one of the guys that can help to change the world.”
Ronaldo’s remarks come amid Trump’s second term in office, during which the 79-year-old Republican leader has taken several high-impact and often controversial policy steps shaping international affairs.
The endorsement follows reports that Ronaldo had earlier this year sent a signed Portugal national team jersey to the U.S. President with a handwritten message reading, “playing for peace.”
The conversation also touched on global sports diplomacy and the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico across 16 cities — marking one of the largest tournaments in history.
Ronaldo’s comments have since sparked mixed reactions online, with many debating the intersection of sports, politics, and global leadership in the footballer’s latest statement of support.
