Trump hosts WH dinner with Saudi Crown Prince and soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo
OAN Staff Blake Wolf 9: 16 AM Wednesday, November 19, 2025 President Donald Trump hosted a Tuesday night dinner with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and other notable figures in attendance. The lavish dinner followed a series of meetings at the White House in which the president and the Saudi crown prince discussed the Abraham Accords, a two-state solution in the Israel-Palestinian conflict, and the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Prior to the crown prince’s visit to the White House, Trump announced that he hoped to persuade the Saudis to join the Abraham Accords, ultimately normalising ties between Israel and the Saudi government. During a Tuesday joint press conference in the Oval Office, the crown prince stated that the Saudis “want to be part of the Abraham Accords, but we want also to be sure that we secure a clear path to a two-state solution.” “We had a healthy discussion with Mr. President that we’re going to work on that to be sure that we can prepare the right situation as soon as possible,” he added. On Tuesday evening, soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk joined Trump and the crown prince for a White House dinner. “My son is a big fan of Ronaldo,” Trump stated during a speech to the group. “And Barron got to meet him, and I think he respects his father a little bit more now that I’ve introduced you. Thank you for being here, it’s an honor.” President Trump was seen acknowledging Musk on his way to the dinner, indicating that the two are back on good terms after a public falling out. Other guests in attendance included Apple CEO Tim Cook, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Second Lady Usha Vance, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Ronaldo is currently playing with the club team Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, after the Saudi government invested billions of dollars to attract world-class players. Ronaldo recently signed a two-year contract with the club, reportedly worth over $400 million. Ronaldo recently stated that President Trump is “one of the guys that can help to change the world,” and his visit comes as the United States prepares to host the 2026 World Cup, which is expected to be the 40-year-old soccer superstar’s last. “I’ve directed my administration to do everything within its power to make the 2026 World Cup an unprecedented success. I think it’s going to be the greatest, and we are setting records on ticket sales,” Trump proclaimed. Stay informed! Receive breaking news blasts directly to your inbox for free. Subscribe here.
