New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani says he plans to center an upcoming meeting with Republican President Donald Trump on how the two opposing leaders could work to make the city a more affordable place to live.

The stakes couldn’t be higher for the Nov. 21 White House meeting between President Donald Trump and New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani on Thursday said while he has many disagreements with President Donald Trump, he will work with the American leader on any agenda that benefits New Yorkers. Mamdani will meet Trump in the White House on Friday,

Jared Walczak, vice president of state projects at the non-partisan Tax Foundation, voiced opposition to Mamdani's proposed tax hike, saying the policy risks a gradual erosion in the high-earner tax base and revenue losses that would accumulate over time.
