New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani reached the White House for a high-stakes meeting with US President Donald Trump on Friday to push his affordability agenda, after the two leaders exchanged a fierce war of words in the past.
The two leaders said the meeting was “productive" and a lot of important issues were discussed. Trump vowed to work together with Mamdani and support his affordability agenda.
The White House confirmed to the BBC that Mamdani has arrived for his meeting with Trump. “Too late guys! Y’all are too slow!" the White House’s director of communications, Steven Cheung, posted on X.
The two New Yorkers repeatedly trade barbs, setting up what could be a tense meeting. Trump frequently calls Mamdani a “communist", while the New York-elect has publicly derided the president’s anti-immigration policies.
