Kushner and Ivanka brought along all three of their children for the special moment. Sons Joseph and Theodore rocked in PSG kits, while 11-year-old daughter Arabella brought along her camera, presumably to capture the moment. Mbappe also signed jerseys for the children later, making it a jovial evening for both parties.

Mbappe had a surreal night before the visit from the Trumps. He scored a brace to help his side win 2-1 against Denmark to clinch a place in the knockout stages. The French star also made it seven World Cup goals for himself, which was the same as Brazil legend Pele before reaching the age of 24. Mbappe has the rest of the tournament ahead of him to go past that record. This speaks volumes about the achievement.

Did the Trump family come all the way to Qatar to meet Mbappe?

While meeting one of the biggest superstars in the sport must have been a checkbox ticked, the Trump family is here to enjoy the whole spectacle. Ivanka and Kushner were spotted watching 5-time champions Brazil play their first game against Serbia alongside Qatar Prime Minister Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz Al Thani.
