“Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran ‘Kwame’ Mamdani, has asked for a meeting. We have agreed that this meeting will take place at the Oval Office on Friday, November 21st. Further details to follow!” he wrote in a Truth Social post.

Mamdani, who will be sworn in on New Year’s Day after his victory earlier this month, has struck a defiant tone against Trump. He told the president to “turn the volume up” in his victory speech, which was laden with criticism of Trump, on election night. However, Mamdani has said he is willing to meet with the president, mainly to discuss affordability.

“I will be reaching out to the White House as we prepare to actually take office,” Mamdani said last week, noting their relationship will be key “to the success of the city.”

If Trump “wants to speak about lowering the cost of living or delivering cheaper groceries, like he ran on [in 2024], I’m there to have that conversation,” Mamdani added. “I’m here to work for the benefit of everyone that calls the city home, and that wherever there is a possibility for working together toward that end, I’m ready, and if [the administration’s policies] are to the expense of those New Yorkers, I will fight.”

Trump took a particular interest in New York City this year during its mayoral election. Trump was born there in 1946 and grew up in Queens. Mamdani was born in Uganda but also represented and lives in Queens.

It’s unclear what the pair will discuss. It will be their first meeting.

TRUMP SAYS MAMDANI WANTS TO MEET IN PERSON IN WASHINGTON

The president has met with current Mayor Eric Adams multiple times in the past and with former Mayor Bill de Blasio after Trump was elected to his first term in 2017.

The Washington Examiner reached out to a Mamdani transition spokesperson for comment but did not receive a response.
