The President of the USA welcomed a selection of Juventus players inside the Oval Office but the meet and greet quickly descended into something more ominous as Trump sent a warning to the Middle East and also launched several jabs towards transgender athletes. And Weah was less than impressed with what went down as he and his Juve mates were left perplexed by Trump's attempt to flex his muscles. Speaking after the incident, he said: "It was weird. I was caught by surprise, honestly, when he started talking politics, with Iran and everything. I was kind of like, I just want to play football … They just told us that we have to go, and I had no choice but to go. "So I guess it was a cool experience, obviously being in the White House as a first time, it's always wonderful. But I'm not one for the politics, so it wasn't that exciting.'
