President Donald Trump and New York mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani are heading towards a rare and highly watched Oval Office meeting after months of insults, threats and political posturing. Trump repeatedly attacked Mamdani during the mayoral race, backing Andrew Cuomo and warning he would slash federal funds if the democratic socialist won. Mamdani, elected on an affordability-first agenda, criticised Trump's immigration policies and vowed to defend New Yorkers against federal overreach. Despite their clashes, Mamdani's team initiated the meeting, saying he is prepared to work with anyone who can help the city. Their face-to-face encounter now promises tension, uncertainty and a test of political resolve.
