JUST IN: US President Donald Trump gushes over Cristiano Ronaldo and claims Al-Nassr star made call to White House
It’s the bromance of the year that no one could have predicted but President of the United States, Donald Trump, has issued another message, gushing in his praise for Cristiano Ronaldo. The pair met at the White House earlier this year at high-profile event involving world business leaders and Trump described CR7’s appearance at the event as a “real honour”, and POTUS has now revealed details of a recent phone call.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
Trump and Ronaldo have developed a warm, mutually admiring public relationship, which began after the Portugal superstar expressed his desire to meet the president, calling him one of the “guys that can help to change the world”. This wish was fulfilled last month when Ronaldo, as part of a Saudi delegation, attended a dinner at the White House and had a private meeting with the President. During the visit, Trump praised Ronaldo as “an extraordinary guy, not only as an athlete, but also as a person”.
Trump even joked that the meeting earned him extra respect from his son, Barron, a huge Ronaldo fan. During the dinner, president Trump said: “You know, my son is a big fan of Ronaldo, wherever Ronaldo is here. And Barron got to meet him, and I think he respects his father a little bit more now, just the fact that I introduced you. So I just want to thank you both for being here. Really an honour.”
The interaction appeared very positive, with the White House captioning footage of the two with “Two GOATs”. Trump also presented Ronaldo with a gold key to the White House, an honor reserved for special guests. And now there’s been an update on a phone call between the pair.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump said: “Cristiano Ronaldo, the GREAT soccer (football!) player, just called to thank me to thank for his tour this week of the White House and Oval Office. What an incredible guy he is, not only as an athlete, but as a person. You don’t get any better!!!”
Ronaldo brushes off criticism
The 40-year-old superstar received criticism for some quarters for attending the dinner party at the White House, however, his sisters, Elma and Katia Aveiro defended their elder brother
On her Instagram story, Elma wrote: “Haven’t these clowns realised yet that he doesn’t give a damn about their opinions? This isn’t for those who want it, it’s for those who can handle it. They have nothing else to say, damn it.”
Katia, on the other hand, posted a video where she said: “All it took was work, something many critics have only heard about. A visit to the White House, and that’s it, an emotional nuclear explosion. Hypocrites. Such a huge hysteria has taken hold that it’s frightening. It’s as if Cristiano had announced the end of the world.”
Ronaldo is having an excellent season with Al-Nassr, showing remarkable consistency even at a veteran stage of his career. He’s bagged 10 goals in just nine appearances, and is among the league’s top goalscorers. His performances show no signs of slowing down as he actively pursues the 1,000 career goal milestone and his next fixture for Al-Nassr is a club friendly against Al Wahda FC on December 10th. And CR7 has confirmed the World Cup will be his last major tournament for Portugal, so what chance is there of another meeting with Trump on the biggest stage of all – the World Cup final?
Speaking last month, Ronaldo said: “If you ask me, ‘Cristiano, is it a dream to win the World Cup?’ No, it’s not a dream. To win the World Cup, nothing will change my name in the history of football, I’m not going to lie. One thing that I’m sure of [is] that I will enjoy the moment. The moment is the most important thing that we have. We are not qualified already. Enjoy the moment.”

War: Your missiles can’t stop mass Iranian drones – Zelenskyy warns Trump
President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that large numbers of Iranian drones cannot be effectively countered with Patriot missile systems alone.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
According to him, the cost and production time of the missiles make it difficult to compete with mass-produced drones.
In an interview with the New York Post, Zelenskyy explained that a single Iranian “Shahed” drone is significantly cheaper than a Patriot interceptor missile, making it impractical to rely solely on such systems against large-scale drone attacks.
According to him, even thousands of Patriot missiles would not be enough to stop tens of thousands of drones, as the drones are far cheaper and easier to produce.
“Thousands of Patriot missiles cannot stop tens of thousands of Iranian “shaheds.” One such drone is forty times cheaper than a single Patriot missile. Therefore, in terms of production time and the cost of missiles, it is impossible to compete with drones. There simply will not be enough capacity,” Zelenskyy said.
Zelenskyy added that Ukraine has developed extensive air defense experience during the war with Russia, noting that the country now possesses most components of a comprehensive air defense system, except anti-ballistic capabilities.
He stated that the United States has strong anti-ballistic systems and suggested that combining Ukraine’s air defense experience with US capabilities could help create a more effective system capable of protecting countries facing large-scale aerial threats.
Zelenskyy also warned that drone technology is evolving rapidly and that their operational range could expand significantly in the future.
The Ukrainian leader proposed a partnership between the United States and Ukraine focused on exchanging technology, experience and security cooperation to counter emerging threats.

Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries – OPEC+ raises oil quotas amid Middle East tension
Key members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies, jointly known as OPEC+, on Sunday announced a higher-than-expected increase in production quotas following United States and Israeli strikes on Iran, which triggered retaliation by Tehran across the Middle East.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The eight-member V8 (Voluntary Eight) group within the alliance, which includes major oil producers Saudi Arabia and Russia, as well as several Gulf states affected by Tehran’s missile strikes, said it had agreed to a “production adjustment” of 206,000 barrels per day.
“This adjustment will be implemented in April,” the group said in a statement, according to a report by AFP. Nigeria is also a strong member of OPEC.
The statement did not directly reference the outbreak of conflict involving Iran, instead citing “a steady global economic outlook and current healthy market fundamentals” as justification for the increase.
Before the weekend meeting, analysts had projected a more modest rise of 137,000 barrels per day. However, Jorge Leon, an analyst at Rystad Energy, cautioned that the agreed increase might not be sufficient to prevent the Iran conflict from triggering a spike in oil prices when trading resumes on Monday.
Leon pointed to the possibility of Iran targeting the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which nearly a quarter of the world’s seaborne oil supply passes, in retaliation.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have reportedly contacted vessels to announce that the strait is closed. On Sunday, Iranian state television reported that an oil tanker in the strait was struck while allegedly attempting to “illegally” pass through and was sinking. Footage aired by the broadcaster showed a tanker ablaze at sea.
“If oil cannot move through Hormuz, an extra 206,000 barrels per day does very little to ease the market,” Leon said, adding that “logistics and transit risk matter more than production targets right now.”
He said the OPEC+ decision “is unlikely to calm markets.”
“Prices will respond to developments in the Gulf and the status of shipping flows, not to a relatively small increase in output,” he added.
Apart from Russia and Saudi Arabia, the V8 group within OPEC+ comprises Kuwait, Oman, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates, all of which were targeted by Iranian attacks for a second consecutive day on Sunday. Algeria and Kazakhstan are also members of the group.

BREAKING: Has Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Been Killed in Drone Airstrike? Fact Emerges
On February 28, an X account named ReversingTrend posted: “Initial reports indicate that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was killed by an Iranian drone strike inside his residence in Tel Aviv.”....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The post quickly gained traction, recording 954,000 views, 1,100 retweets, and 7,700 likes.
Factcheck Africa tool confirmed that the claim was false. Multiple reliable sources confirmed that Benjamin Netanyahu was alive and continued to serve as the Prime Minister of Israel.
See the X post
below:
Further checks by Legit Nigeria showed that his profile entry on Israel’s official website listed his birthdate and current position with no mention of his death. The International Criminal Court (ICC) page also confirmed his status, noting that an arrest warrant was issued against him on November 21, 2024. The existence of this warrant implied that he was alive and subject to ongoing legal proceedings.
The evidence showed that Benjamin Netanyahu had not been killed in a drone strike. He remained in office as Prime Minister of Israel, and no credible reports supported the claim of his death. The viral post was therefore misleading, spreading false information about a sitting world leader.
Verdict
: False – Benjamin Netanyahu was not killed in a drone strike. He was alive and serving as Prime Minister of Israel at the time of the claim.
Who is Benjamin Netanyahu?
According to Israel government, Benjamin Netanyahu was born in 1949 in Tel Aviv and grew up in Jerusalem. His high school years were spent in the United States, where his father, the historian Benzion Netanyahu, taught and conducted historical research. Returning to Israel in 1967, Mr. Netanyahu enlisted in the IDF and served as a soldier and officer in Sayeret Matkal, a special unit of the Israeli army. He took part in several operations, including the rescue of hostages in a hijacked Sabena airplane in 1972. In the same year, he was cited for outstanding operational command by General Mordechai Gur, Chief of Israel’s Northern Command. After his discharge from the IDF in 1972, Mr. Netanyahu served in the Yom Kippur War of 1973 and was promoted after the war to the rank of captain in the Reserves.
Netanyahu received a B.Sc. degree in Architecture and an M.Sc. in Business Management from MIT. He also studied political science at MIT and at Harvard University.
Business
Experience Between 1976 and 1982 Mr. Netanyahu worked in the private sector, first with the Boston Consulting Group, an international business consultancy, and then as Marketing Director of Rim Industries in Jerusalem, an industrialized furniture manufacturer.
According to IndiaTimes, Trump described Khamenei as “one of the most evil people in history” and said he was tracked using “highly sophisticated tracking systems.” He called the strike “the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their country.”
