Trump, Mamdani to meet in Oval Office as mayor-elect pushes for accessibility program
On Friday, the first meeting between the new Mamdani-organized mayor of New York City and President Donald Trump will take place, culminating their public rivalry during the election. Although Trump announced the meeting with insults to Mamdani's progressive policies, the mayor-elect emphasized that he was ready to discuss his program, including the solution to the "national crisis." "I'm not worried about this meeting," Mamdani said, emphasizing that he sees it as an opportunity to justify his positions.

In addition, Mamdani, who has been critical of the Trump administration for its policies, said he hoped to discuss affordability issues, such as raising the income tax for millionaires. Trump, for his part, mentioned his belief in the fruitfulness of the meeting, noting that both are looking for ways to strengthen New York. However, Trump warned Mamdani to be careful what he said, saying that some of the mayor's proposals may not be realistic. Mamdani, while trying to remain open to dialogue, also expressed his determination to resist the conservative policies of the Trump administration.
