US President Donald Trump welcomed New York City's incoming mayor, Zohran Mamdani, to the White House in a meeting that marked a surprising display of civility between the two political rivals. Despite months of public disagreements and personal insults, both leaders set aside their differences during their Oval Office encounter, focusing on shared concerns such as cost-of-living and public safety in New York. Trump praised Mamdani's election victory and expressed hope for the city's success, while Mamdani described the meeting as productive and centered on their mutual love for New York City. The meeting comes after a contentious campaign season, with both figures softening their rhetoric and emphasizing cooperation for the city's future.
