President Donald Trump is getting set for the first trip abroad of his presidency. Over nine days, he'll visit five countries, including Israel and Saudi Arabia. White House insiders told the The New York Times that, as a picky eater who is very particular about where he sleeps, Trump is nervous about being away from home for so long. Thus his aides have reportedly already made one culinary request: a back-up steak and ketchup must be available at meal time.

The AP reports that the caterers for Trump's stop in Saudi Arabia are preparing to offer the president of the United States his favorite meal of well-done steak with a side of ketchup in addition to the more traditional lamb and rice on the menu. The meat will be prepared in the halal manner as dictated by Sharia law.

Getting ready for my big foreign trip. Will be strongly protecting American interests - that's what I like to do! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 19, 2017

While he was still on the presidential campaign trail, Trump revealed his favorite dishes: "I love steak and hamburger and pasta and French fries, all of the things that we shouldn't be eating." Just a few weeks ago, his administration took steps to make student lunches more "appealing" again by scaling back some of First Lady Michelle Obama's nutritional requirements.
