Trump-Mamdani FACE-OFF| Fireworks Expected as Trump Confirms Meet with NYC Mayor ‘COMMUNIST’ Mamdani

Oneindia

President Trump has confirmed a high-stakes White House meeting with New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani after months of public feuding marked by harsh insults and political clashes. Trump, who repeatedly labeled Mamdani a “communist,” says the meeting was formally requested, while Mamdani’s team notes it is standard for incoming mayors to discuss federal-city priorities. Despite a bitter campaign—where both traded sharp attacks—both sides now signal a softer tone, with Mamdani seeking “plain, honest talks” on safety, housing, and affordability.    #Trump #ZohranMamdani #WhiteHouseMeeting #NYCPolitics #BreakingNews #PoliticalClash #PublicSafety #HousingCrisis #Affordability #USPolitics #NewYorkMayor #GazaWarDebate #Immigration #CityPriorities #Election2025 #PoliticalFeud #LiveUpdate #FederalCityRelations #TrumpVsMamdani  ~HT.410~GR.122~

00:28President Donald Trump has confirmed that he will be meeting New York Mayor-Elect

00:32Zohran Mamdani at the White House on November 21.

00:36In a post on Truth Social, Trump referred to Mamdani as a communist who requested for

00:41a meeting with the president.

00:44Mamdani spokesperson Dora Pekhek said that it was customary for an incoming New York City

00:49mayor to meet with the president, and that Mamdani planned to discuss public safety,

00:54economic security, and affordability agenda with President Trump.

01:00Fireworks are, however, expected at Friday's scheduled meeting at the Oval Office between

01:04the two as the meeting comes after months of bickering between the Republican president

01:09and the Democrat mayor-elect.

01:12All throughout Mamdani's campaign, Trump spit fire on Mamdani, labeling him as a communist,

01:18calling him a Jew-hater and a stupid person.

01:23Trump even threatened to pull federal money from the city if Mamdani was elected, and

01:27on one occasion went as far as threatening to deport the Uganga-born but now naturalized

01:34U.S. citizen Zohran Mamdani.

01:36Mamdani, on his part, has criticized Trump's record on affordability and housing, his crackdown

01:42on immigration, and on protests against U.S. support for Israel during the Gaza Bar.

01:48In his victory speech, Mamdani called Trump a bad landlord and thundered that he wanted

01:53New York to show to the entire nation how to defeat the president.

01:58But ever since then, both Trump and Mamdani seem to have eased their tone against each other.

02:04Mamdani has said that he wants to speak plainly to the president to address the struggles

02:09of New Yorkers, and that the outreach to the president was part of his commitment to address

02:14the affordability crisis in New York.

02:16Trump told reporters on Sunday night that he planned to meet with Mamdani, saying we

02:21will work something out.

02:23The long-anticipated meeting could signal either a thaw or an escalation in the bitterness

02:28between Trump and Mamdani.

02:31Whether the Friday face-off becomes a breakthrough or a spectacle remains to be seen.

02:39with Mamdani, saying please do just keep in mind.

02:46This is a very long-current, the fact that

02:48economic crisis happens to cause the bottom of the border, and he will wake up to the

02:55in-person.

02:57A good story to happen is to keep up with the words of the country and come to return.

02:59Let me do that.

03:00This is a very long time.

03:01Let me do that.
