Trump and Mamdani plan to meet in New York during the president's upcoming UN visit

  • By SEUNG MIN KIM - Associated Press

President Donald Trump plans to meet with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani when Trump travels to the city for the upcoming U.N. General Assembly. The meeting is set for Monday at Gracie Mansion, the mayor's official residence. Mamdani's communications director says they'll discuss issues affecting the city. The White House has also confirmed the meeting. Mamdani is a democratic socialist and has often been a political foil for Republicans. But Trump has shown warmth toward Mamdani, even after calling Mamdani a "100% Communist Lunatic" during the mayor's campaign. Their previous meetings have been cordial.
