The Shiro Corporation - Cristiano Ronaldo sent a signed jersey to U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday (17/6).
The jersey is the official uniform of the national team of Portugal with the number 7 on the back, Ronaldo's signature number throughout his career. On the back of the jersey, there is a short but powerful message written: To President Donald J. Trump. Playing for Peace.
The jersey handover took place during the G7 Leaders Summit held in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada.
As reported on The Sun's website, the jersey was handed over directly by Antonio Costa, President of the European Council and also the former Prime Minister of Portugal. In the official photo documentation, Donald Trump can be seen holding the jersey while standing next to Costa.
The jersey handover took place amid globally tense circumstances, particularly regarding geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran.
At that time, world leaders were discussing peaceful solutions and reviewing the possibility of achieving a ceasefire. On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo's symbolic actions became part of a diplomatic series that emphasized a message of unity and calm from the world of sports.
Cristiano Ronaldo himself was not present at the event. However, the message written on the jersey became a symbol of his presence at the international discussion forum.
As a global athlete known across cultures and countries, Ronaldo contributes in an unusual way, using the symbolic power of sports to convey values of peace.
After a photo of Donald Trump holding the jersey spread, a number of responses emerged on social media.
The image went viral and sparked various reactions from the global public. Some social media users also shared the image again with various creative interpretations.
"You are the greatest man still alive. Keep using your influence for good. We love you," wrote one account on the platform X.
"Super Ronaldo and Portugal, I hope you can find a way to bring peace to the East and Ukraine," another account wrote.
