NYC Mayor Eric Adams meeting President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago today

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is meeting with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago home Friday in Florida. 

According to Adams' schedule, he flew to Florida on Thursday, and is expected to meet with Trump at 1 p.m. Friday. 

The mayor has said a partnership with the federal government is critical to New York City's success, and Trump has said he would consider pardoning Adams if he is convicted on federal corruption charges. 

"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," the mayor's office said in a statement Thursday. "Tomorrow, Mayor Adams will sit down with President-elect Trump and discuss New Yorkers' priorities. The mayor looks forward to having a productive conversation with the incoming president on how we can move our city and country forward."

Meanwhile, the mayor's critics, including Comptroller Brad Lander, who is running against him, say Adams is putting his own interests over New Yorkers.
