It's well known that President [Donald Trump](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/donald-trump) loves a Big Mac. During his first term, he famously served fast food at White House banquets, and during the 2024 campaign he wore an apron and [handed out fries at a McDonald's](https://www.newsweek.com/mcdonalds-campaign-election-trump-harris-1972964) stop staged for cameras.
As the Saudis work to impress Trump during his trip to Riyadh this week, they're focusing on even the smallest details—like his fondness for the Golden Arches—by setting up a custom-built mobile [McDonald's](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/mcdonalds) truck designed to support the presidential visit and the throng of journalists in tow.
As part of a carefully choreographed and unusually personal welcome, Saudi officials rolled out a full-size, mobile McDonald's truck ahead of Trump's arrival—a nod to his well-documented preference for the fast-food chain.
The glossy, double-staircase trailer—branded in Arabic and English—was parked outside a media hub called "Media Oasis," where journalists were hosted amid video screens showcasing Saudi mega-projects like the futuristic NEOM city and the upcoming 2034 FIFA World Cup.
It was unclear if the president was planning to eat from the truck.
