Incredible moments marked the visit of Juventus's players to the White House, during the World Club Championship in 2025, hosted by Washington. Donald Trump, in the second presidential term, received the team in Serie A, but the discussion had many controversial moments.
With the players of the “old lady” in the back, Donald Trump, in her characteristic style, has addressed several world problems, especially the war between Iran and Israel.
Controversial moments with Donald Trump and Juventus's players
Donald Trump received Juventus's players in his office, during the World Club Championship, organized in the United States.
Timothy Weah and Weston McKennie, American players, along with the former US championship, Giorgio Chielini, remained “hardened” following the president's controversial statements.
Donald Trump, surrounded by the Juventus group, spoke about the recently triggered war between Iran and Israel.
The atmosphere became particularly tense when the US president asked players: “Could a woman play in your team, boys?”
The footballers reacted with embarrassed smiles without answering. Trump, however, insisted, addressing the general manager of Juventus, Damien Comolli, who answered diplomatically: “We have a very good female team.” Trump continued, saying: “Yes, but women should play with women.”
Juventus's female team is one of the best in the world, winning this year the fifth consecutive title in Italy.
We remind that in February, Trump signed a decree that prohibits transgender women to compete in women's sports, threatening to interrupt the funding of schools that do not comply.
Social networks “exploded” after this dialogue, many commenting on the embarrassment of the moment and the professional reaction of Juventus.
Subsequently, the “old lady” debuted at the World Club Championship 2025 with a victory, 5-0, with Al Ain. Juventus thus occupies the first position in Group G, of which Manchester City and Wydad Casablanca also belong.
