The Portuguese star was accompanied by his partner Georgina Rodríguez and was one of the main protagonists despite the presence of several high-profile political figures.

Cristiano Ronaldo also took a selfie that has already gone viral on social media. The Portuguese star took a photo with Georgina, as well as Elon Musk, the technology magnate, and also Howard Lutnick, the United States Secretary of Commerce, and David Sacks, chairman of the President's Advisory Council for Science and Technology.

The same photograph was shared by the latter two, who highlighted the "great night" alongside CR7.

Donald Trump was absent from this selfie, but he did not fail to express his gratitude to Cristiano Ronaldo when he attended the dinner that took place in the West Room of the White House.

"My son Barron is a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is here. I think he respects his father a little more now that he knows him, just for having introduced him. I just wanted to thank you both [Ronaldo and Georgina] for being here. Thank you very much. It's truly an honor," said the US president, provoking laughter among the guests.

Images of Cristiano Ronaldo during this visit to the White House are scarce. Agencies only have a couple of photographs, in addition to this selfie and other images shared by other guests.

The 40-year-old Portuguese star was not invited to speak, but he sat in the front rows of the table, very close to Donald Trump and the Saudi Arabian delegation.
