U.S. President Donald Trump described his meeting with New York City's mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, as "very productive" during a brief statement on Friday. The two leaders met in the Oval Office, where Trump emphasized their shared commitment to the future success of the city.

“We’ve just had a great... very productive meeting. We have one thing in common. We want this city of ours that we love to do very well,” Trump said. The President expressed his support for Mamdani, noting that the better the new mayor does, the happier he would be.

Trump also mentioned that he and his administration would help Mamdani in his efforts to "make everybody’s dream come true," signaling potential cooperation between the federal government and the new mayor's office in New York City. The meeting comes as Mamdani prepares to take office, with many eyes on how he will navigate the challenges facing the city.
