Contrary to popular assumption, US President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani had a cordial meeting at the White House on Friday afternoon as the two formed an ‘unlikely alliance’. While speaking to reporters after the meeting, both Trump and Mamdani agreed to work together to address housing, food prices, and cost-of-living concerns that have defined both their political appeals to working-class voters.
“We agreed a lot more than I would have thought,” Trump said in the Oval Office, sometimes jumping in to shield Mamdani from aggressive questioning from the press. The face-off was much anticipated, with many predicting that it would be contentious. Part of the reason for the presumption was that both had engaged in months of intense rhetoric against each other.
