Donald Trump ordered McDonald’s to the White House shortly before giving an update on the fragile Iran ceasefire.
The US president, who is a fast food fan, was seen with his hands full of takeaway bags emblazoned with the unmistakable golden arches, just outside of the Oval Office.
Mr Trump was not scheduled to make any press appearances today, but held a short question-and-answer session with journalists on Monday afternoon.
“Nice to meet you,” the president said to delivery person Sharon Simmons, who was wearing a T-shirt that read: “DoorDash Grandma”.
DoorDash is a popular takeaway app in the US. Mrs Simmons was then included in the impromptu press event.
Mr Trump asked her about the tax savings she said she had made as a result of last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, that also included specific reductions on tips for service workers including delivery drivers.
He appeared to hand her a tip for $100 (£75).
