US EditionTrump Has Been Talking to Mamdani
Their private texting began after a November Oval Office meeting and continues despite public political differences and tensions over U.S. actions in Venezuela, Axios reported.
- According to Axios, President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani have privately texted since swapping numbers at their November 21, 2025 Oval Office meeting.
- The November Oval Office sit‑down produced unexpected cordiality despite campaign observers expecting a grand showdown, as President Donald Trump and Zohran Mamdani traded insults before and after.
- Sources report Zohran Mamdani and President Donald Trump have communicated twice weekly on topics from city zoning to Venezuela, and Mamdani called Trump after Nicolás Maduro’s capture, which Trump called `a perfect attack` last week.
- The exchanges stunned many in the Republican Party and prompted speculation it helped end Elise Stefanik's run, while reporters say the relationship could be rocky; Newsweek sought comment from the White House and Mamdani's office on Tuesday.
- Earlier this month Zohran Mamdani condemned the U.S. strike and Maduro's capture as an `act of war`, noted Maduro was held in a correctional facility in Mamdani's city, and said expressing his views would not harm his rapport with President Donald Trump.
