During a recent White House visit, Italian football club Juventus faced an uncomfortable exchange with U.S. President Donald Trump, who unexpectedly posed a question about women and transgender athletes.

The President hosted some of the club's players and officials, asking their views on transgender athletes and discussing conflict in Iran.

In Oval Office during the Italian soccer giant’s White House visit, the president’s questions created an awkward silence. “I was caught by surprise,” said Tim Weah.

International soccer stars on the Italian club Juventus found themselves in an unusual position Wednesday – standing behind President Trump at the resolute desk as he fielded questions about the Israel-Iran war and other hot-button issues.
