Recently elected New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani met with U.S. President Donald Trump for the first time in the Oval Office of the White House. According to the New York Post, the meeting took place in a surprisingly warm and constructive atmosphere.
This was particularly significant as both politicians had previously been highly critical of one another. According to the BBC, Trump conducted himself courteously and emphasized that the White House was ready to assist the new city leader.
"We will help him," the President stated. "I understood that Mamdani and I share agreement on more issues than I had expected.
We have a common goal: we both wish for immense success for the city we love," he added. Mamdani, in turn, expressed his appreciation for the President's readiness for dialogue.
"I am grateful that during the meeting, we discussed not our differences but our shared goal of serving the people of New York," he said. A representative of the Democratic Party and a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, Mamdani's victory came as an unexpected event.
Prior to the elections, Trump had called for votes against Mamdani and warned that his election could impact federal funding. The two politicians had previously exchanged harsh statements, with Trump labeling Mamdani a "communist" and Mamdani criticizing Trump as a "despot" and a "fascist."
Nevertheless, their first meeting was unexpectedly peaceful and marked by a willingness to collaborate. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
