Trump asks Juventus players, ‘Can girls play on your team?’
Italian club Juventus was invited to the White House by US President Donald Trump on Wednesday to protect his invitation. The club’s players, who went to the United States to play in the FIFA Club World Cup, had a slightly embarrassing experience when they met Trump. Fox News reported that Juventus players were standing behind Trump’s desk in the Oval Office. At that time, Trump, while criticizing former US President Joe Biden, brought up the topic of transgender (transgender) athletes, saying, “He was never in favor of opening borders. He was not in favor of transgender or boys participating in women’s sports.” Trump, who signed an executive order banning transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports in February, turned around and asked Juventus players and staff, “Can girls play on your team?” The players could not answer this question. Some laughed a little embarrassed.

After Trump asked the same question again, Daniele Comolli, the general manager of the 36-time Italian top league winner, replied, “Our women’s team is very good.” Trump then said, “But they (Juventus’ boys’ team) should play with girls.” Comolli did not say anything else after the US president’s comment. He was looking at the floor with his head down. However, Trump was not about to let him go. He said to Comolli, “He is very diplomatic.” Juventus’ women’s team is the current Serie A champion. Juventus crushed Al Ain of the United Arab Emirates 5-0 at the Audi Field Stadium in Washington from Group ‘G’ today. Kolo Muani and Francisco Conceicao of the ‘Old Lady of Turin’ scored a pair of goals. Manchester City defeated Wydad 2-0 from the same group last night.
