Ukraine War Policy

After a surprisingly cordial Oval Office meeting on Nov. 21, President Trump and New York City mayor‑elect Zohran Mamdani described their discussion as productive and pledged to cooperate on affordability, public safety and infrastructure. White House officials, including NEC Director Kevin Hassett, said the administration is not inclined to cut off federal funding and were reassured by Mamdani’s decision to retain NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, even as Mamdani said he still considers Trump a "fascist" but will work with him where they agree.
