Miami, US: Days after warning that federal funding could be cut if Zohran Mamdani won New York City’s mayoral race, President Donald Trump softened his stance following Mamdani’s decisive victory on Tuesday.

Speaking at the America Business Forum in Miami on Wednesday, Trump, who had previously labeled Mamdani a “communist,” indicated he was open to providing limited federal support to the city despite his sharp criticism of the incoming mayor.

“The communist, Marxist socialists and globalists had their chance, and they delivered nothing but disaster. And now let's see how a communist does in New York,” Trump said. He added, “We're going to see how that works out. And we'll help them. We'll help them. We want New York to be successful. We'll help them a little bit, maybe.”
