Following the event, South African entrepreneur David Sacks shared the now-viral selfie on X, with the caption,“Great night!”

Why Trump hosted the dinner at White House?

US President Donald Trump, on Tuesday (local time) hosted a lavish dinner in honour of Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman – marking MBS's first visit to the US in seven years, since the 2018 killing of Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi that sparked global outrage.

From tech moguls and top executives to sports stars – the event drew prominent names across the globe.

From Tim Cook to Elon Musk – who all attended?

The dinner was attended by tech titans such as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Tesla boss Elon Musk and Apple CEO Tim Cook, along with golfer Bryson DeChambeau and soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The guests were served pistachio-crusted rack of lamb and finished with a delicate pear dessert layered in rich couverture mousse, as per reports.

Trump thanks Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo, was seated near the front of the East Room, not far from – just a short distance from where Trump and the crown prince delivered their address to officials from both the nations.

Donald Trump, in his speech, made a point of recognising Ronaldo, whom he said he introduced to his teenage son.

Trump thanked the Portuguese star for attending the dinner. He said that his youngest son, Barron, is a“big fan” of Ronaldo and the 19-year-old was impressed that he got to meet the soccer player.

“Barron got to meet him. And I think he respects his father a little bit more, now, just the fact that I introduced you,” Trump said.
