President Trump ordered Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to eat a salad served to U.S. diplomats during a trip to China last year, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
The Chinese leaders had reportedly included Caesar salad on the menu for a dinner with Trump, Tillerson and other top U.S. officials in November. The event was held in China's Great Hall of the People during Trump's tour of Asia.
Trump grew worried that the Chinese officials might be offended if the U.S. leaders didn't eat the salad, the Journal reported.
"Rex, eat the salad," Trump told his top diplomat, according to the newspaper.
Tillerson reportedly laughed off the president's comment.
The Journal cited the incident as an example of the sometimes tense relationship between Trump and Tillerson.
Trump ousted Tillerson as secretary of State in a tweet Tuesday morning, replacing him with CIA Director Mike Pompeo.

A comment on eating salad is suppsed to be a sign of friction between two people? Good grief. What nonsense.
A salad war. That explains everything.
There is no level the MSM won’t stoop to in their zeal to bash the President.
Thanks for the laugh. That was brilliant.
Interesting. I have no affection for Trump or any politicians. Trump happens to be the only game in town right now so he has my support.
