Trump to meet Zohran Mamdani on Friday

Mamdani aims to discuss economic policies and affordability with Trump in Oval Office meeting, signaling potential easing of tensions between city and federal government.

  • President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that he will meet Zohran Mamdani, New York City Mayor‑elect, in the Oval Office on Friday, November 21.
  • Mamdani told reporters Monday that his team contacted the White House to propose a meeting pledging to address the city's affordability crisis and curb costs on essentials.
  • Months of heated criticism gave way to a recent cooling as President Donald Trump hinted at improved ties after Zohran Mamdani, New York City Mayor‑elect, showed interest in Washington, though tensions resurfaced Wednesday with Tom Homan's announcement of a federal surge.
  • The meeting would mark the first encounter since Zohran Mamdani's victory earlier this month as he prepares to take office in January, with observers noting it could affect millions in New York City.
  • Mamdani has also courted Wall Street, planning talks with Jamie Dimon and other finance leaders while Bill Ackman offered help despite earlier backing an alternative candidate.
