Former US President Donald Trump has announced that he will meet New York’s mayor-elect Mamdani on Friday for what he described as an important discussion on the city’s future direction.
The upcoming meeting has drawn significant attention, as Trump praised Mamdani’s recent election victory and hinted at potential cooperation on economic and security-related matters.
Sources close to the development say both leaders are expected to exchange views on public safety, business revival, and long-term urban planning for America’s largest city.
Political observers believe the meeting could signal a rare moment of bipartisan engagement, especially given New York’s complex political landscape and Trump’s continued national influence.
Mamdani’s team welcomed the announcement, stating that the mayor-elect is open to speaking with all stakeholders who wish to contribute positively to the city’s progress.
The meeting is scheduled to take place at Trump’s New York residence, with both sides expected to release further details after Friday’s discussions conclude.
