Trump Cancels Brooklyn Kosher Deli Visit After Owner's Sudden Death

The former president was set to meet supporters in Williamsburg before the deli owner's unexpected passing led to the event's cancellation.

  • 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
