Overview
- Donald Trump was scheduled to visit Gottlieb's Restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, but the appearance was canceled due to the death of the owner, Shalom Yoseph Gottlieb.
- Gottlieb, aged 75, succumbed to a heart attack after being hospitalized with pneumonia earlier in the week.
- The event was highly anticipated by the Hasidic community, where Trump has strong support due to his perceived affinity for Jewish people and his economic policies.
- Gottlieb's Restaurant, founded by Shalom's Holocaust-survivor father in 1962, is a well-known establishment in the neighborhood.
- Trump's planned visit was part of a series of Jewish community engagements, including a speech on antisemitism in Washington, D.C., and an address to the Israeli American Council
