Trump Cancels Brooklyn Deli Visit After Owner's Death

Former President Donald Trump’s planned campaign stop at Gottlieb’s Restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was abruptly canceled following the unexpected death of the deli's owner, Shalom Yoseph Gottlieb, who passed away from a heart attack at age 75. The visit was anticipated to be a significant event, particularly within the local Orthodox Jewish community, where Gottlieb was a respected figure. Prior to his death, the restaurant had been buzzing with excitement about Trump’s visit, which was part of a campaign swing through New York. Gottlieb's father founded the deli, which has been a staple in the community for over 60 years, and his son Menashe currently manages it. Trump's campaign schedule will continue with a rally in Nassau County, following a previous stop at a cryptocurrency-themed bar in New York City. The community is now in mourning for a beloved local figure who played a pivotal role in its cultural landscape.
