President Donald Trump said Nov. 16 that he plans to meet with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and “work something out,” signaling that he may be open to a working relationship with the self-described democratic socialist, who the president has said is a threat to the city.
“The mayor of New York, I will say, would like to meet with us, and we’ll work something out,” Trump told reporters as he prepared to return to Washington after a weekend in Florida. “We want to see everything work out well for New York.”
