The US president praised Mamdani\u2019s electoral victory during the first in-person meeting for the political opposites<\/strong><\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump has said he believes New York’s Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani “could do a very good job.”<\/em> The political opposites held their first in-person meeting at the White House on Friday.<\/p>\n

”I can tell you, some of my views have changed… I feel very confident that he can do a very good job. I think he is gonna surprise some conservative people, actually,”<\/em> Trump said, praising Mamdani’s electoral victory.<\/p>\n

A democratic socialist and little-known state lawmaker who won New York’s mayoral race earlier this month, Mamdani requested the sit-down with Trump to discuss cost-of-living issues and public safety.<\/p>\n

Asked to clarify if he thinks Trump is a fascist, before Mamdani can answer, Trump intervenes and laughs it off, saying, \u201cThat\u2019s ok. You can just say yes. That\u2019s easier. It\u2019s easier than explaining.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/RfKJd6vAs1<\/a><\/p>\n

After months of trading insults in the media, the mayor-elect and the president appeared to strike a rapport in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

“We agreed on a lot more than I thought,”<\/em> Trump told the reporters following a private meeting. “We have one thing in common: we want this city of ours that we love to do very well.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“It was a productive meeting focused on a place of shared admiration and love, which is New York City, and the need to deliver affordability to New Yorkers,”<\/em> Mamdani added.<\/p>\n

Mamdani’s victory in the heavily Democratic city earlier this month came despite fierce opposition from conservatives and little enthusiasm from mainstream Democrats. Trump had branded him a “communist lunatic,” <\/em>predicting that his policies<\/a> would push New Yorkers to flee the city for Miami.<\/p>\n

As Mamdani surged in the polls to victory, Trump issued threats to strip federal funding from the city. The mayor-elect has consistently criticized various policies put forth by Trump, particularly those aimed at increasing federal immigration enforcement in New York City, where nearly 40% of the population is foreign-born.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
