New York's incoming mayor Zohran Mamdani will meet President Donald Trump Friday at the White House, despite months of exchanging insults during the election. The 34-year-old Democratic socialist, who defeated Andrew Cuomo by nine points earlier this month, said the Oval Office meeting will focus on public safety, affordability, and economic security. Trump called Mamdani a "communist mayor" who requested the meeting and previously threatened withholding federal funding. Mamdani pledged to work with Trump on beneficial agendas while opposing harmful ones. The mayor-elect has hired extra lawyers for potential legal challenges and vowed New York will "remain a city of immigrants" despite Trump's immigration crackdown.(PC: Mint & The Telegraph)
