Global football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has injected himself into international politics, publicly endorsing US President Donald Trump just months after sending him a signed jersey carrying a plea for peace.
CR7’s Gift to Trump
The gesture occurred in June 2025 during the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Canada.
The Portuguese star’s signed national team jersey was delivered to President Trump by European Council President António Costa.
The gift was notable for its personalized message, which was addressed: “To President Donald J. Trump—Playing for Peace".
Trump warmly received the jersey.
Upon reading the inscription, Trump said, “Oh, I like that. Playing for peace,”.
The timing of the gift came amid the 12-day-war between ‘Israel’ and Iran.
During a recent extensive interview with journalist Piers Morgan, Ronaldo was asked directly about the reasoning behind sending the jersey and its message.
In response, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner and one of the world’s most influential public figures said that Trump is “one of those guys who can change or help change the world”.
