Juventus Players Attended ‘Weird’ Meeting with Trump at White House

During a recent visit to the White House, Juventus players found themselves in a strange situation as they stood alongside President Donald Trump for a surreal media appearance. The group included U.S. Men’s National Team midfielders Weston McKennie and Timothy Weah, as well as owner John Elkann.

Trump’s speech during the 16-minute event veered from congratulating the players to discussing geopolitical tensions with Iran, the Civil War, and U.S. travel bans. The meeting took place as Juventus is in the U.S. for the Club World Cup, adding an unexpected twist to their schedule.

Speaking after a game where Juventus defeated Al-Ain, Timothy Weah shared his thoughts on the visit, stating, “It was all a surprise to me, honestly – they told us.”

However, Weah later expressed discomfort about the meeting, labeling it as ‘weird.’ He revealed that he and his teammates felt forced to attend the event with President Trump, highlighting the unusual circumstances surrounding their visit to the Oval Office.

It remains unclear why Juventus was invited to the White House for this encounter, raising questions about the nature of the interaction between the Italian giants and the U.S. President. Despite the confusion and unease among the players, the unexpected meeting with Trump added a unique chapter to their Club World Cup journey.
