Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser said Monday that she and President-elect Trump "had a great meeting to discuss our shared priorities" for his upcoming term, despite their previously contentious relationship that hit a fever pitch in 2020 during the George Floyd riots.
"President Trump and I both want Washington, DC to be the best, most beautiful city in the world and we want the capital city to reflect the strength of our nation," Bowser said.
The Democratic mayor said she and Trump "discussed areas for the collaboration between local and federal government, especially around our federal workforce, underutilized federal buildings, parks and green spaces, and infrastructure."
"I am optimistic that we will continue to find common ground with the President during his second term, and we look forward to supporting a successful inauguration on January 20," she added.
