WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said on Nov. 21 that he and New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani had a “very productive meeting” at the White House and found common ground on how to support the city, with a focus on housing and affordability.

“We’ve just had a great meeting, a really good, very productive meeting,” Trump told reporters as Madani stood next to him in the Oval Office. “We have one thing in common. We want this city of ours that we love to do very well. And I wanted to congratulate the mayor.”
