Donald Trump received a special gift from Cristiano Ronaldo—a signed Portugal jersey with a handwritten message: *”To President Donald J. Trump, playing for peace.”* The shirt was presented to Trump by Alberto Costa, president of the European Council, during the G7 summit in Canada. Trump, who admired the message, responded, *”Oh, I like that. Playing for peace. That’s great.”* Ronaldo recently led Portugal to victory in the Nations League, adding to his Euro 2016 triumph as he prepares for his final World Cup in 2026.
The gesture came as Trump faces criticism over his handling of U.S. immigration raids and the Iran-Israel conflict. Earlier this year, he signed an executive order supporting the upcoming Club World Cup and World Cup, both hosted by the U.S. Meanwhile, Trump, who turned 79 on June 14, remains the oldest U.S. president at inauguration, though Joe Biden still holds the record as the oldest sitting president at 82.
