US EditionTrump, Mamdani promise to work to help NYC and tackle affordability amid cordiality
Trump praised Mamdani's decisive win with over 50% of the vote and both pledged cooperation on affordability and public safety for New Yorkers.
- On Friday, November 21st at 3 pm, New York City Mayor‑Elect Zohran Mamdani will meet President Donald Trump in the Oval Office for their first in-person encounter since Mamdani's victory earlier this month.
- Mamdani plans to press affordability issues such as childcare, utilities, rent, and a $2.90 transit fare during the meeting, emphasizing New Yorkers' struggles this year.
- During the campaign, Trump repeatedly labeled Mamdani `100% Communist Lunatic` and threatened to withdraw federal funding, announcing the meeting on Truth Social Wednesday with a hostile tone.
- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez deferred to Zohran Mamdani, saying `I think we let Zohran lead.` and noted he is preparing for his inauguration while advancing his agenda.
- Against a backdrop of public hostility, observers say how Friday's meeting will play out remains to be seen as Trump's emphasis on Mamdani's middle name deepens tensions.
