전직 대통령 버락 오바마가 뉴욕 시장 조흐란 맘다니와 토요일에 처음 만나 브롱크스 유치원생들과 함께 노래를 불렀다.
전직 대통령 버락 오바마가 토요일 뉴욕 시장 조흐란 맘다니를 처음 만나 유치원 아이들과 함께 노래를 부르며 시간을 보냈다. 이 만남은 맘다니 시장이 지난주 100일 임기를 기념한 직후에 이루어졌으며, 맘다니는 공화당 도널드 트럼프 대통령과의 업무 관계를 구축하려고 노력하고 있다.

오바마와 맘다니는 아이들에게 "함께 그리고 혼자"라는 책을 읽어준 후 "버스의 바퀴"를 함께 부르며 시간을 보냈으나 질문에는 답하지 않았다.

두 임기를 역임한 전직 대통령이자 민주당의 기준을 제시하는 오바마는 34세의 맘다니에게 자문 역할을 하겠다고 제안했다. 맘다니의 영향력, 젊음, 진보적 의제는 민주당 정치에서 그를 눈에 띄게 만들었다.

맘다니는 뉴욕시를 더욱 살기 좋은 도시로 만들겠다는 선거운동 공약 중심으로 1월에 취임했으며, 도시의 어려움을 겪는 노동계층을 돕기 위해 정부의 막대한 권력을 재정렬하는 데 중점을 두고 있다.

맘다니는 11월과 2월에 트럼프 대통령을 백악관에서 두 번 만나 뉴욕에 영향을 미치는 문제들을 논의했다.

이러한 우호적 만남에도 불구하고 최근 양자 관계에 긴장 조짐이 보이고 있다. 트럼프는 목요일 소셜 미디어에 맘다니가 세금 정책으로 "뉴욕을 파괴하고 있다"고 게시했으며 도시에 대한 연방 자금 지원을 중단하겠다고 위협했다.

Former President Barack Obama met with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani for the first time on Saturday at a child care center where they read to preschoolers and led a singalong.

The meeting comes as Mamdani, a democratic socialist who marked his 100th day in office just over a week ago, is also trying to build a working relationship with Republican President Donald Trump.

Obama and Mamdani did not take questions after reading the book “Alone and Together” to the children and leading a singalong of “The Wheels on the Bus.”

The former two-term president and standard-bearer for the Democratic Party has offered to be a sounding board for Mamdani, 34, whose star power, youth and progressive agenda has made him stand out in Democratic politics.

Mamdani took office in January after a campaign centered on making New York City a more affordable place to live, centering his agenda on refocusing the vast power of government toward helping the city’s struggling working class.

Mamdani has met twice with Trump at the White House in November and February to discuss issues affecting New York.

Despite those friendly meetings, their relationship has shown signs of strain recently, with Trump posting on social media Thursday that Mamdani was “DESTROYING New York” with his taxing policies and threatened to pull federal funding for the city.
