Awkward meeting between Juventus and Trump at White House ahead of Club World Cup

The Juventus squad experienced an unexpected meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House, Washington DC — just hours before their 2025 Club World Cup match against Al Ain.

The atmosphere turned awkward as the Bianconeri contingent with coach Igor Tudor lined up behind Trump at his Oval Office desk — joined by FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

Instead of discussing the visiting team or ongoing tournament, Trump chose to address sensitive issues — ranging from domestic politics, Israel-Iran military conflict, to transgender debates in front of the attending media.
