Trump plans to meet with Mamdani, says he’ll ‘work something out’ with New York City’s mayor-elect

President Trump expressed openness to meet New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, potentially easing tensions after months of political conflict between them.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump indicated he plans to meet New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and said `We'll work something out` as he prepared to fly back to Washington.
  • In the run-up to the November 4 election, Trump repeatedly branded Mamdani a `communist`, questioned his citizenship, urged votes for former Governor Andrew Cuomo, and threatened to withhold federal funding or deploy troops if Mamdani won.
  • Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect, campaigned on progressive policies and rose from obscurity, winning the November 4 election by nearly 9 percentage points and becoming New York's youngest and first Muslim mayor in over a century.
  • Leavitt said Trump was referring to Mamdani but that no meeting date had been set, and Mamdani's spokesperson pointed to his plan last week to reach out to the White House.
  • The relationship could shape federal funding and enforcement affecting millions of New Yorkers, and Mamdani says he will be `proactive` to dissuade ICE and National Guard deployments.
