""The mayor of New York, I will say, would like to meet with us and we'll work something out. He would like to come to Washington and meet," he said. "We want to see everything work out well for New York.""
""New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant," he said. "So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.""
President Donald Trump frequently opposed Zohran Mamdani during the mayoral race, threatened to withhold federal funding, and endorsed an opponent. Trump later indicated that the mayor-elect would like to meet in Washington and that the administration wants New York to succeed, while the White House said no date was set. The administration has renewed focus on affordability after Democratic election victories. The relationship between Mamdani and Trump has been tense, with Mamdani linking affordability to economic policy and promising to protect immigrants, and Trump denouncing Mamdani as a "communist" and threatening federal intervention.
