Trump to meet with New York City mayor-elect Mamdani
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/trump-meet-new-york-city-mayor-elect-mamdani(www.middleeasteye.net)US President Donald Trump will meet with New York City's newly elected mayor, Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist whom Trump has previously called a 'communist'. The meeting follows Mamdani's victory and Trump's prior threats to cut federal funding to the city if Mamdani won. Mamdani has expressed willingness to work with anyone to address the city's affordability, while also navigating concerns about public safety. A key point of contention may be the deployment of federal agents, though Mamdani has retained the pro-Israel police commissioner who oversaw crackdowns on Gaza war protesters.
