Washington: US President Donald Trump said he will host New York's mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani for a meeting Friday, after fiercely attacking the 34-year-old self-described Democratic Socialist during his recent campaign.
Trump, while repeating his false claim that Mamdani is a "communist," said on his Truth Social platform that the meeting "will take place at the Oval Office on Friday, November 21st."
Mamdani's spokesperson Dora Pekec confirmed the meeting in a statement.
"As is customary for an incoming mayoral administration, the Mayor-elect plans to meet with the President in Washington to discuss public safety, economic security and the affordability agenda that over one million New Yorkers voted for just two weeks ago," Pekec said Wednesday.
Trump's meeting with Mamdani marks the coming together of two men raised in the Queens borough of New York, but their similarities may end there.
