NEW YORK (PIX11) – New York City Mayor Eric Adams will be meeting with President-elect Donald Trump on Friday, a spokesperson for the mayor has confirmed.
Adams is traveling to Palm Beach, Florida, to discuss the New Yorker’s priorities. According to his press team, the meeting will be closed to the press and outsiders.
“The mayor looks forward to having a productive conversation with the incoming president on how we can move our city and country forward, read an X post by NYC Deputy Mayor for Communications Fabien Levy. “Mayor Adams has made quite clear his willingness to work with President-elect Trump and his incoming administration on behalf of New Yorkers — and that partnership with the federal government is critical to New York City’s success.”
Adams is expected to return from Florida to New York City on Friday after his meeting.
Trump has expressed warmth for Adams. After the mayor was indicted, Trump said he suspected the charges were brought because Adams had criticized President Joe Biden’s immigration policies.
