Trump meets Mamdani in the Oval Office: Winners, losers and takeaways
President Trump and mayor-elect Mamdani emphasized cooperation on New York City's affordability crisis, a key issue for their political futures, during a cordial Oval Office meeting.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump met New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani in the Oval Office, then answered reporters after a private half-hour session described as unexpectedly cordial.
- Both men emphasised affordability and cost-of-living concerns, with Zohran Mamdani campaigning on freezing some rent increases while President Donald Trump stressed inflation since his re-election last year; recent races this month and next year’s midterms raised political stakes.
- Mr. Trump said `I expect to be helping him, not hurting him` and pledged cooperation on safety with Zohran Mamdani, promising to remove 'horrible people' from New York City.
- Whether the truce will last when Mamdani takes office on 1 January is unclear, as federal immigration enforcement and deportation goals could reignite tensions and Republicans may use Mamdani politically.
