Trump and Mamdani Are Meeting for the First Time. Will They Play Nice? Zohran Mamdani the mayor-elect of New York City, will go to the White House on Friday. The stakes are high for the city.

“…Mamdani has solicited advice as part of fairly extensive preparations for the meeting. On Thursday, Mr. Mamdani joined a video call with Robert Wolf, a former chief executive of the bank UBS Americas and an ally of former President Barak Obama. Mr. Wolf posted on social media that they discussed economic trends, adding that he was “confident he’ll speak on behalf of NYC and the key affordability issues negatively impacting it.”
