President Donald Trump announced he will meet with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani at the White House on Friday, marking the first meeting between the president and the democratic socialist who won the mayoral election earlier this month.

“Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran ‘Kwame’ Mamdani, has asked for a meeting,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social, his social media company, on Wednesday. “We have agreed that this meeting will take place at the Oval Office on Friday, November 21st. Further details to follow!”
