Reunión entre Mamdani y Trump

EL PAÍS

Ambos vienen del mismo barrio, Queens, pero habitan planetas separados por años luz. O no tanto, a juzgar por el encuentro que el presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, y el alcalde electo de Nueva York, Zohran Mamdani, celebraron este viernes en la Casa Blanca, al final del cual exhibieron en el Despacho Oval una sorprendente sintonía. Tanta, que dieron la impresión −o el espejismo, está por ver− de haber enterrado el hacha que han empuñado el uno contra el otro en los últimos meses.<br>

00:00Gracias, señor presidente.

00:01Gracias, señor presidente.

00:02Gracias, señor presidente.

00:03I appreciate it.

00:04Please.

00:05I appreciated the meeting with the president,

00:06and as he said, it was a productive meeting

00:08focused on a place of shared admiration and love,

00:11which is New York City,

00:12and the need to deliver affordability to New Yorkers,

00:15the 8.5 million people who call our city their home,

00:18who are struggling to afford life

00:20in the most expensive city in the United States of America.

00:22We spoke about rent.

00:24We spoke about groceries.

00:25We spoke about utilities.

00:26We spoke about the different ways

00:27in which people are being pushed out,

00:29and I appreciated the time with the president.

00:31I appreciated the conversation.

00:32I look forward to working together

00:34to deliver that affordability for New Yorkers.

00:36Thank you very much.

00:38Any questions, please?

00:40I mean, he's got views out there, but who knows?

00:43I mean, we're going to see what works,

00:46or he's going to change also.

00:47We all change.

00:48I change a lot.

00:49I change a lot.

00:50From when I first came to office,

00:52it's now quite a while ago.

00:54It's quite a while.

00:55My first term was great.

00:56We had the greatest economy

00:58in the history of our country.

00:59We're doing even better now.

01:00We're doing much better now

01:01than we did even the first term.

01:03And I can tell you,

01:04some of my views have changed.

01:05And we had discussions on some things.

01:08I'm not going to discuss what they were,

01:10but that I feel very confident

01:13that he can do a very good job.

01:14I think he's going to be,

01:16I think he is going to surprise

01:17some conservative people, actually,

01:19and some very liberal people.

01:21he won't surprise them,

01:22because they already like him.

01:24And Mr. Monthony?

01:25I want to clarify your answer

01:26to Steven Nelson.

01:28He asked about your comment

01:30calling the President a fascist.

01:32And your answer was,

01:34both President Trump and I have been clear

01:35about our positions and our views.

01:37Are you affirming that you think

01:39President Trump is a fascist?

01:41I've spoken about the-

01:42That's okay.

01:43You can just say yes.

01:44Okay.

01:45It's easier.

01:46It's easier than explaining it.

01:48I don't mind.

01:49There's a question for Mr.

01:50Thank you, Mr. President.

01:51Do you view the mayor-elect

01:52as the true leader of the Democrat Party?

01:54And do you think

01:55Leader Schumers and Leader Jeffries,

01:57you know, have to follow his lead?

01:58Well, look, I hope they have great leaders.

02:01This is a man that, right now,

02:02I think is focused on New York City.

02:04I really think he has a chance

02:06to do a great job.

02:07We're going to help him.

02:08But I really think he has a chance

02:10to do a great job.

02:11But I'll let you answer that.

02:12You consider yourself

02:13the leader of the Democrats.

02:14I think it's more appropriate for him.

02:16I consider myself

02:17the next mayor of New York City.

02:18And I keep my horizons firmly

02:20on New York City.

02:21And I appreciate the meeting

02:22with the President,

02:23which focused again

02:24on the five boroughs

02:25and whether New Yorkers

02:26could afford to live there.

02:27By the way,

02:28being the mayor of New York City

02:29is a big deal.

02:31Absolutely.

02:32I always said, you know,

02:33one of the things I would love

02:34to be someday

02:35as the mayor of New York City.

02:36Being the mayor of New York,

02:37and especially now,

02:38because I think you're really

02:40a turning point,

02:41one way or the other.

02:43It could go great,

02:45or it can go

02:46in a different direction.

02:47And I think you really have

02:48a chance to make it great.

02:50And I appreciate it.

02:51Mr. President,

02:52you say you love New York City.

02:53Mr. Mount Downey,

02:54does New York City

02:55love President Trump?

02:56New York City loves a future

02:57that is affordable.

02:58And I can tell you

02:59that there were more New Yorkers

03:00who voted for President Trump

03:01in the most recent presidential election

03:03because of that focus

03:04on cost of living.

03:05And I'm looking forward

03:06to working together

03:07to deliver on that

03:08affordability agenda.

03:09I got a lot of votes.

03:10I'll tell you,

03:11the press has eaten this thing up.

03:14You know,

03:15I've had a lot of meetings

03:16with the heads of major countries.

03:18Nobody cared.

03:19This meeting that you people have gone,

03:21you know, outside you have

03:22hundreds of people waiting.

03:23This is just a small little group.

03:25For some reason,

03:27the press has found this

03:29to be a very interesting meeting.

03:30The biggest people in the world,

03:32they come over from countries,

03:33nobody cares,

03:34but they did care about this meeting.

03:36There will be topics

03:37that we disagree on.

03:38I think we'll probably

03:39come to a conclusion

03:40and ultimately,

03:43he'll convince me

03:44or I'll convince him,

03:45you know,

03:46it's for the good of New York.

03:47Ultimately,

03:48it's for the good of New York.

03:49I don't care about affiliations

03:51or parties or anything else.

03:52I want to see

03:53if this city could be unbelievable,

03:55if he could be a spectacular success,

03:57I'd be very happy.

04:00Thank you.
