US President Donald Trump has announced plans to meet with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani at the White House on Friday, November 21. The meeting comes after a heated campaign between the two during the recent NYC mayoral elections. According to Trump's social media post on Truth Social, Mamdani had requested a meeting, which Trump agreed to, referring to him as the 'Communist Mayor of New York City.' This will be the first meeting between the two since Mamdani's victory in the mayoral elections earlier this month. Trump had initially expressed differences with the 34-year-old Democratic state lawmaker and democratic socialist, but reportedly praised him after his win, calling him a 'talented politician' and a 'slick talker.' However, Trump has also criticized Mamdani on several occasions, labeling him an extremist, a communist, and a danger to NYC. Trump's son, Eric, has also been critical of Mamdani, claiming he 'hates the Indian population' and has a 'socialist' and 'communist' ideology. The meeting between Trump and Mamdani is expected to take place at the Oval Office on Friday, with further details to follow. The encounter comes as a surprise, given the two candidates' past election rivalry.
