- Story Text: U.S. President Donald Trump said on social media on Wednesday (November 19) he will meet New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani at the White House on Friday (November 21) in what would be the first meeting of the Republican leader with the democratic socialist who won this month's mayoral election.
Mamdani and Trump have been critical of each other, with Trump having backed Mamdani's opponent, Andrew Cuomo. Mamdani, for his part, has been critical of the Trump administration's policies.
Mamdani told reporters earlier this week that his team had reached out to the White House to arrange a meeting.
Mamdani's transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump's post on Wednesday.
