Donald Trump’s NYC Kosher Deli Appearance Cancelled Last Minute Following Owner’s Death

Former President Donald Trump’s planned visit to Gottlieb’s, a kosher deli in Brooklyn’s Hassidic Williamsburg, was cancelled following the sudden death of the deli’s owner, Shalom Yosef Gottlieb, who passed away from a heart attack at the age of 75. Gottlieb, who contracted pneumonia last week, succumbed to a heart attack earlier today.

Trump was scheduled to stop by the iconic deli, founded by Gottlieb’s father—a Holocaust survivor—before travelling to Washington, DC, to speak at a “Combating Antisemitism” event. Gottlieb’s son, Menashe, has been managing the deli in recent years.
