The Saudi Royal Court have set up a mobile McDonald's for Donald Trump during his visit to the nation.
The president is currently on a four-day tour of the Middle East.
The first leg of the tour is in Saudi Arabia, and it seems like the Saudi royals have decided to do their very best to make him feel at home.
Footage shared on X shows the truck parked up in Riyadh. A White House official later confirmed the food truck's presence, before it went viral on social media, with some asking 'how is this real life?'
One person joked that the food truck was "some real Veep sh*t", in reference to the hit HBO political comedy.
Someone else said: "You can't make this stuff up."
Trump's love of a Maccies is well-documented.
In 2019, he famously served up a huge buffet of the fast food when welcomed national college football champions the Clemson Tigers to the White House, and is said to have enjoyed Egg McMuffins for breakfast during his 2016 election campaign.
Last year, the Republican even made a visit to a McDonald's branch on his election campaign, donning an apron and serving chips to customers.
The visit to Saudi Arabia has seen Trump sign a $142bn deal with the Middle Eastern nation. It also appears to have been a tiring visit for the president...
After visiting Saudi Arabia, Trump will head to Qatar and the UAE.
