Former US President Donald Trump’s planned visit to a kosher restaurant in Brooklyn on Thursday was cancelled at the last minute after the owner died.
Donald Trump was scheduled to make an appearance at Gottlieb’s, a restaurant in Williamsburg’s Hasidic neighborhood, before heading to Washington, according to the New York Post.
His plans quickly changed when Trump’s team learned of the death of the establishment’s owner, Shalom Yosef Gottlieb, aged 75.
The owner reportedly contracted pneumonia last week and suffered a heart attack earlier Thursday, the US media reported.
Gottlieb’s Restaurant was reportedly founded by Shalom Yosef Gottlieb’s father, a Holocaust survivor, and his son has reportedly been running the establishment for several years.
