Mamdani, a socialist who will be sworn in on January 1st, has publicly criticized Trump but expressed willingness to meet, mainly to discuss issues like affordability and lowering the cost of living in New York City. The meeting will be their first and underscores the meaning of their relationship for the city&#8217;s future. Mamdani, born in Uganda and a Queens resident, shares ties to the borough with Trump, who was born and raised ther. The specifics of their <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >discussion remain unclear<\/a>. Trump has previously met with other New York mayors, including Eric Adams and Bill de Blasio.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump to meet with &lsquo;Communist Mayor&rsquo; Mamdani in Oval Office on Friday<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2408152\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> confirmed he will meet with New York City Mayor-elect <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/zohran-mamdani\/\">Zohran Mamdani<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-two-state-solution-the-only-answer-to-israel-palestine-conflict\/\" title=\"Biden: Two-State Solution \u2018The Only Answer\u2019 to Israel-Palestine Conflict\">president previously<\/a> said he would meet with the socialist, whom he called a &ldquo;communist&rdquo; in the announcement, but it was unclear when.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3891771\/trump-signs-epstein-files-release-bill\/\">Trump signs Epstein bill after swift passage in Senate<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3892321\/trump-withdraws-airline-compensation-rule-holiday-travel\/\">Trump administration scraps airline payout plan before holiday travel surge<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3891767\/trump-threatens-fire-scott-bessent-if-fed-not-fixed-fast\/\">Trump tells Scott Bessent &#8216;I&#8217;m going to fire your ass&#8217; if he doesn&#8217;t get Fed &#8216;fixed fast&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran &lsquo;Kwame&rsquo; Mamdani, has asked for a meeting.

However, Mamdani has said he is willing to meet with the president, mainly to discuss affordability.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I will be reaching out to the White House as we prepare to actually take office,&rdquo; Mamdani said last week, noting their relationship will be key &ldquo;to the success of the city.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>If Trump &ldquo;wants to speak about lowering the cost of living or delivering cheaper groceries, like he ran on [in 2024], I&rsquo;m there to have that conversation,&rdquo; Mamdani added. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m here to work for the benefit of everyone that calls the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rudy-giulianis-n-y-apartment-raided-by-federal-investigators\/\" title=\"Rudy Giuliani\u2019s N.Y. apartment raided by federal investigators\">city home<\/a>, and that wherever there is a possibility for working together toward that end, I&rsquo;m ready, and if [the administration&rsquo;s policies] are to the expense of those New Yorkers, I will fight.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s unclear what the pair will discuss.
