Despite deriding Mamdani as he campaigned for mayor, Trump has taken a liking to him after their one-on-one meeting late last year.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON \u2014 President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani are set to meet on Thursday at the White House, according to a person with knowledge of the meeting.<\/p>\n

Thursday’s scheduled meeting is expected to include housing in part and was not on the president’s public schedule. It will also mark the second time the two leaders meet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite deriding Mamdani as he campaigned for mayor, Trump has taken a liking to him after their one-on-one meeting late last year.<\/p>\n

At last year’s meeting\u00a0<\/a>following Mamdani’s win, the Republican president and New York City\u2019s Mayor-<\/a>were warm and friendly, speaking repeatedly of their shared goals to help Trump’s hometown rather than their combustible differences.<\/p>\n

During that meeting, Mamdani and Trump said they discussed housing affordability and the cost of groceries<\/a> and utilities, as Mamdani successfully used frustration over inflation to get elected, just as the president did in the 2024 election.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of his ideas are really the same ideas that I have,\u201d the president said of Mamdani about inflationary issues.<\/p>\n

Trump also mentioned Mamdani during his State of the Union on Tuesday and noted that he communicates regularly with the NYC mayor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“And even the new communist mayor of New York City,” he said during the speech. “I think he\u2019s a nice guy, actually speak to him a lot. Bad policy, but nice guy.”<\/p>\n
