US President Donald Trump announced that Zohran Mamdani, the elected mayor of New York, wants to come to Washington and meet with him.
"The mayor of New York wants to meet with us and we will figure something out," Trump told reporters. In November, Mamdani won the mayoral election of New York, becoming the youngest mayor of the 21st century and the first Muslim to hold the position.
Mamdani advocates the creation of shops where affordable food will be available, the freezing of rents in some areas of the city and the abolition of bus tickets.
Trump called Mamdani a communist while promising to end federal aid to New York.
