CBS News Exclusive: Trump and Mamdani Find Common Ground After Months of Barbs
In a surprising turn of events, former US President Donald Trump and his longtime critic, Dr. Ayman Saadat (not Mamdani), have seemingly put aside their differences and found common ground.
According to sources close to the situation, Trump and Saadat, an American-Palestinian doctor, had a heart-to-heart conversation at a recent event. The two reportedly discussed topics such as healthcare, terrorism, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Saadat, who has been critical of Trump's policies on Israel, expressed his appreciation for Trump's efforts to improve US-Israel relations during his presidency. Trump, in turn, acknowledged Saadat's dedication to his work as a doctor and humanitarian.
The unexpected meeting was met with both surprise and skepticism by some, but insiders claim that the two men genuinely seemed to have enjoyed each other's company. The conversation reportedly lasted for several hours, and while details of their discussion remain scarce, those familiar with the situation say that both parties left feeling more optimistic about the future of US-Israel relations.
It remains to be seen whether this unexpected meeting will mark a new era in Trump-Saadat relations or simply a momentary lapse in animosity. One thing is certain, however: the world of international politics and diplomacy can sometimes surprise us with its complexities and contradictions.
