Zohran Mamdani is sworn in as New York City mayor

In New York, Zohran Mamdani has been sworn in as mayor after his surprise win in the November election. The 34-year-old looks set to cross swords with US President Donald Trump over the course of his term, especially over Trump's aggressive anti-immigration agenda. At his inauguration ceremony, which was attended by the likes of Bernie Sanders and Alexandra Ocasio Cortez, Mamdani vowed to fulfil his campaign pledges of making New York a more affordable city.
