Cristiano Ronaldo pens personal message for Donald Trump on signed jersey
United States President Donald Trump was presented with a Portugal shirt signed by Cristiano Ronaldo during the Group Seven summit in Canada on Tuesday, June 17.
The No. 7 shirt was handed to President Trump by Antonio Costa, the President of the European Council, who is also Portuguese.
The jersey bore a personal message from Ronaldo: 'To president Donald J. Trump, Playing for Peace.'
To President @realdonaldtrump.
Playing for peace. As a team. — António Costa (@eucopresident) June 16, 2025
Upon receiving the gift, the 79-year-old Trump held the jersey with both hands and remarked, 'I like it, playing for peace.'
Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo, 40, is the all-time men's leading scorer in international football with 138 goals and recently recently captained Portugal to its second UEFA Nations League title.
The Al Nassr forward is anticipated to represent Portugal in the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, which will be co-hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
