President Trump said the Tigers can expect an array of fast food, including McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's.

Clemson will be the first champions to visit the White House since May 2018.

Some teams, like the Golden State Warriors, have chosen not to make the trip.

After expressing their unwillingness to visit in 2017, President Trump withdrew the invitation.
