Donald Trump Refuses to Eat Any Japanese Food During Trip to Japan

Donald Trump Refuses to Eat Any Japanese Food During Trip to Japan

Donald Trump once said during a 1990 trip to Japan that he would not eat “f***ing raw fish” and opted for a McDonald’s hamburger.
Although Japan has been praised for their great cuisine with many Michelin-starred restaurants, President Trump will not eat anything but an all-American diet, according to The Independent.

During a casual lunch with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, no Japanese dishes were found at his table. Instead, Trump opted for a hamburger sourced from American beef from Japanese restaurant chain Munch’s Burger Shack — with a well done patty of course.

“I welcome President Donald J Trump most wholeheartedly on his visit to Japan! We’re getting down to business right away over hamburgers for our working lunch,” the Japanese prime minister’s office wrote on Facebook.

However, to be fair, Munch’s Burger shack actually serves very good burgers and is popular in Japan.

I think it’s safe to say that Trump won’t be stopping by the famous Sukiyabashi Jiro anytime soon like President Obama did in 2014.
