Trump–Mamdani White House meeting turns surprisingly friendly, focus on housing and inflation

US President Donald Trump met New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani at the White House on Friday, in what turned out to be a far more cooperative discussion than anticipated. Once labelled by Mamdani as "Donald Trump’s worst nightmare" and by Trump as a "100% Communist Lunatic," the two leaders appeared cordial inside the Oval Office, focusing on areas of mutual interest rather than ideological differences. Trump described the meeting as "great" and said Mamdani "is going to surprise some conservative people, actually."
