“It was weird.” US national team player criticizes Trump

Yesterday saw a controversial and rather bizarre event—Juventus’ delegation was received right in the Oval Office by none other than US President Donald Trump. The participants shared their thoughts on the unusual encounter.

Details: Juventus winger and US national team player Timothy Weah listened as Trump, standing behind him and his teammates, discussed the war between Israel and Iran. Weah delivered a brief verdict: he wasn’t interested in any of it—he just wants to play football.

Quote: “I think it was a cool experience, of course, to visit the White House... The first time is always great, but I’m not a fan of politics, so it wasn’t all that exciting. Honestly, it totally caught me off guard.

We were just told we had to go, and I didn’t have a choice. I was really surprised. It was a bit weird. When he started talking about politics, Iran, and all that, I just felt like, I just want to play football, man,” Weah told The Athletic.
