NYC Mayor Mamdani says he and Trump "are in touch" and have "one place of agreement"
"Mamdani stated, 'In many ways, it's a New York story of people who have vehemently differing views, and have said many things about each other, and can also still work together on the points of agreement.'"
"'At the heart of every conversation is the question of how can we make the city better?' Mamdani emphasized that both he and Trump believe that 'the better the city does, the better we feel.'"
"'We're talking about spending close to $30 billion to kill thousands of people an ocean away, while we're told that we don't have even an ounce of that money to help working class Americans across this country,' Mamdani expressed his opposition to the Iran war."
"'It's no secret of how I feel about the Iran war,' Mamdani said, confirming that he and Trump have had conversations about their disagreements on foreign policy."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and President Trump communicate regularly, acknowledging their political differences while agreeing on their love for New York City. They have met to discuss city improvements and housing development. Mamdani emphasizes the importance of collaboration despite differing views, particularly regarding the Iran war, which he opposes on moral grounds. He criticizes the financial priorities of the war, arguing that funds should instead support working-class Americans. Their conversations include both agreements and disagreements on various issues, including foreign policy.
