Friday 29 June 2018 16:53, UK
Donald Trump usually reserves the word "greatest" for his latest deal or appointment, but he has now bestowed it on Cristiano Ronaldo.
The US President was speaking about the Portugal forward during a meeting with Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa at the White House.
"They say he is the greatest player," said Trump while discussing the qualities of the Real Madrid forward with De Sousa.
"So, tell me, how good a player is he?" asked Trump. "Are you impressed?"
"I'm very much impressed. He's the best player [in] the world," enthused De Sousa.
