Zohran Mamdani

In a surprising move, President Donald Trump indicated his willingness to meet with New York City's mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, to potentially foster cooperation between the two political rivals.

Trump has previously criticized Mamdani, labeling him falsely as a "communist," but now appears open to dialogue following Mamdani's election victory over former Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Despite their past clashes, both leaders signal a readiness to engage in discussions that could benefit New York City and transcend their political differences.
