The newly elected Mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, announced that he would reach out to U.S. President Donald Trump before taking office on January 20. Mamdani stated, "Establishing a healthy relationship with the federal government is critical for the success of our city."
A new era in New York politics is opening up. Zohran Mamdani, who was elected as the city's new mayor, took an unexpected step against U.S. President Donald Trump, who had harshly criticized him during the election process. Mamdani emphasized that "personal disputes should not take precedence over the interests of the people" by announcing that he would communicate with Trump before taking office.
TRUMP HAD SUPPORTED HIS RIVAL
During the election process, a tense atmosphere prevailed, with President Trump making harsh statements suggesting that federal funds provided to New York could be cut if Mamdani was elected. Trump also urged New Yorkers to vote for Mamdani's rival, Andrew Cuomo.
However, following his election victory, Mamdani sent a message of reconciliation, stating, "The interests of New York are above everything. We want to establish constructive communication with the White House to provide the best service to our people."
Although Trump threatened to cut federal funds, he stated that he would meet with Mamdani and "maybe help him a little."
