Ronaldo Sends Peace Jersey to Trump at G7

At the 2025 G7 Summit in Canada, a signed Portugal jersey from Cristiano Ronaldo, bearing a 'playing for peace' message, was delivered to President Donald Trump by European Council President Antonio Costa. Trump publicly displayed the jersey and expressed his appreciation for the peace message. The gesture came amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, prompting Trump to leave the summit early to address the crisis and issue social media warnings about potential nuclear threats. Ronaldo, who recently led Portugal to a UEFA Nations League victory, declined offers to play in the FIFA Club World Cup in the U.S., choosing to stay with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. The peace message has resonated globally as leaders and citizens call for diplomatic solutions in the Middle East. Trump has reiterated his firm stance against Iranian nuclear ambitions and has urged evacuations in response to the conflict.
