President Donald Trump will meet with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani on Friday, the first ever meeting between the political foils.

Trump has consistently attacked Mamdani, a socialist whom the president frequently calls a “ communist ,” since his campaign began picking up steam. The president additionally endorsed Mamdani’s chief opponent, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo , just days before election night in early November, threatening to cut off funding to New York City if Mamdani won.
