Juventus is currently in the United States for the FIFA Club World Cup. Prior to the Italian club's match against Al Ain, several players and coaches took a trip to the White House to meet with President Trump.

Although it wasn't necessary, Trump asked Juventus players for their view on transgender athletes. He kicked off the conversation by saying, "Could a woman make your team, fellas?"

Juventus general manager Damien Comolli replied, "We have a very good women’s team." That led to another interesting comment from Trump.

"You do, but they should be playing with women," Trump said. "He’s being very diplomatic."

Juventus player Tim Weah, who also competes for the United States national team, didn't hold back his thoughts on meeting Trump.

"It was weird," Weah said, via The Guardian. "I was caught by surprise, honestly, when he started talking politics, with Iran and everything. I was kind of like, I just want to play football … They just told us that we have to go, and I had no choice but to go. So I guess it was a cool experience, obviously being in the White House as a first time, it’s always wonderful. But I’m not one for the politics, so it wasn’t that exciting."

Weah isn't the only person knocking Trump this week. Countless soccer fans said his question about women competing with men was uncalled for.
