By Anjali Sharma

WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump on Thursday said that America “lost a little bit of its sovereignty” in New York after the victory of Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral polls.

He called Democratic socialist Mamdani a “communist”, Trump claimed that New York could resemble “communist Cuba” or “socialist Venezuela,” prompted residents to flee to Florida.

Trump said on November 5, “American people claimed our government. We restored our sovereignty. We lost a little bit of sovereignty last night in New York, but we’ll take care of it”.

He described Mamdani’s victory speech as “very angry”, asserting that the NYC mayor-elect needs to be respectful of Washington if he wants to succeed.

“The decision facing all Americans could not be more clear: We have a choice between communism and common sense,” he remarked.

Trump said that he wants to see New York to be successful and therefore he may help the new mayor “a little bit, maybe.”

“We’ll help them. We will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. You watch what happens in New York, terrible. I hope it doesn’t happen, but you’re going to see it,” he warned.

Mamdani had directly addressed Trump, stated he has just four words for the US President- “Turn the volume up” the hear the loud cheers of the crowd.”

Mamdani said he will not mince his words while speaking about Trump but added he will leave the door open to have conversations with the Trump administration.
