CANADA – Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo sent a surprise gift to former U.S. President Donald Trump during the G7 gathering — a Portugal jersey bearing his signature and a handwritten note reading: “Playing for Peace.”
The jersey, reportedly delivered through a European delegate, was received with a smile by Trump, who appeared amused and appreciative of the gesture.
Though the exchange had no official diplomatic weight, it carried symbolic meaning. The gesture came at a time of heightened global tensions, with leaders at the summit calling for restraint and unity on various international conflicts.
Observers say Ronaldo’s gift served as a quiet but powerful call for harmony, bridging the worlds of sport and global politics. With his massive influence beyond football, Ronaldo’s message sparked curiosity — and conversation.
The moment has since gone viral online, with reactions ranging from support for the peace message to light-hearted banter about the unexpected crossover of personalities.
Whether it leads to anything beyond headlines remains to be seen — but it reminded many that sometimes, even a football jersey can speak louder than words.
