Donald Trump and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani met in the Oval Office in November, exchanged numbers, and have been regularly texting since that meeting. Sources report contact at least twice a week, with discussions ranging from city zoning to the president's operation to remove Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. Mamdani has publicly criticized the federal military strike on Venezuela, calling the action "an act of war and a violation of federal and international law." Mamdani also condemned the federal arrest of a City Council employee as "an assault on our democracy, on our city, and our values." Trump said he was surprised by Mamdani's criticism and described their conversations as friendly.
