President Trump plans to meet with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, the president said Sunday night.

No official date has been set for the meeting.

Mr. Trump's remarks come after he spent months slamming Mamdani. During the mayoral campaign, the president told New Yorkers not to vote for Mamdani, and also threatened to pull federal funding for the city if Mamdani was elected. Mr. Trump has repeatedly called Mamdani, who is a democratic socialist, a "communist."

Speaking to reporters in Palm Beach, Florida, Mr. Trump appeared to suggest he wants to do right by New York City

"The mayor of New York, I will say, would like to meet with us and we'll work something out. But he would like to come to Washington and meet, and we'll work something out. We want to see everything work out well for New York," Mr. Trump said.

Mamdani won, in part, because of Trump, mayor-elect says

The president is clearly striking a conciliatory tone when it comes to meeting with the man who could hold the cards to whether the financial capital of the country continues to be the cash cow for the federal government. In fiscal year 2023, New York sent $320 billion in tax revenue to Washington -- much of it from New York City -- and it's in the president's interests to keep the cash coming in.

However, the mayor-elect seems to be holding to the belief that his election was a statement against the polices coming out of Washington.

"The president ran a campaign where he spoke about a promise to deliver cheaper groceries, a promise to reduce the cost of living. We are seeing his actions and that of his administration in Washington leading to the exact opposite effect for New Yorkers," Mamdani said.

Meeting with Mr. Trump will be all about New Yorkers, Mamdani says

After a brief visit Monday to a Bronx group that feeds the food insecure -- a visit that seemed to be a repudiation of the government shutdown, in which the Trump administration cut Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs benefits for the poor -- Mamdani confirmed that his team had reached out to Mr. Trump seeking a sit-down. However, he also made clear that he isn't going to Washington to back down from his desire to be the affordability mayor.

"I will go to make the case to the president and to anyone, frankly, that these are the kinds of things we need to change if we want to make it easier for New Yorkers and for Americans," Mamdani said.

CBS News New York's Marcia Kramer asked Mamdani for his opinion on why Mr. Trump is apparently adopting a softer tone.

"I will make clear that even New Yorkers that I had met over the course of this campaign, who had voted for the president, they told me that what they had voted for was a lower cost of living. What they voted for was cheaper groceries. What they voted for was a chance at affording the day to day of their own lives," Mamdani said.
