The stakes behind Zohran Mamdani and Donald Trump’s first face-to-face

President Donald Trump is about to meet New York mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani on Friday, their first face-to-face after trading insults for weeks. Mamdani requested the meeting to discuss living costs and public safety, while Trump has threatened to cut federal funding to the city and branded the 34-year-old democratic socialist a ‘radical left lunatic’. FRANCE 24’s international editor Douglas Herbert analyses the stakes of this first meeting.
