US EditionTrump, Mamdani Comment on Their Relationship and New York City
Zohran Mamdani vows to confront federal intimidation and fund social programs by taxing millionaires to address New York City's affordability crisis, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani pledged to stand up to pressure from the Trump administration and announced his transition team to tackle the "twin crises" of an authoritarian administration and affordability.
- For months, Donald Trump, U.S. president, repeatedly questioned Zohran Mamdani's citizenship, called him a 'communist,' and warned via Truth Social he might withhold billions from a city with more than 8 million residents while Mike Johnson, Republican House Speaker, vowed to link Democrats to Mamdani's policies.
- Mamdani proposed taxing millionaires to fund free buses and rent freezes, and he named Lina Khan, Elana Leopold, and Maria Torres-Springer to lead his transition team.
- Legal challenges over fund freezes threaten NYC's $9.7 billion federal support in 2025, including $1.1 billion in COVID-19 funds, and the proposed 2026 budget relies on $7.4 billion, risking fiscal exposure.
- He will be sworn in on 1 January, Mamdani will keep a 'door open' to talks with Donald Trump while resisting intimidation, and he confirmed Jessica Tisch will remain NYPD commissioner.
