PALM BEACH, FLORIDA – November 20, 2025 – Prominent Sudanese economist and public intellectual Mahmood Mamdani met with former U.S. President Donald trump at Mar-a-Lago today to directly challenge him on the escalating global cost of living crisis and its disproportionate impact on developing nations.

Millions are struggling with rising food and energy prices, compounded by debt burdens and limited access to essential resources. Mamdani’s intervention seeks to highlight the interconnectedness of global economic forces and the need for solutions that address the root causes of these challenges, rather than simply treating the symptoms. The discussion centered on the role of international financial institutions, trade policies, and geopolitical factors in shaping the current economic landscape, with Mamdani arguing for a more equitable and lasting approach.

According to sources present during the meeting, Mamdani stated, “We are ready for anything,” signaling his determination to continue advocating for policies that prioritize the needs of vulnerable populations. He reportedly presented Trump with detailed analyses of the impact of rising interest rates and commodity prices on African economies, emphasizing the potential for widespread social unrest if the situation is not addressed.

His work focuses on the intersection of political violence,economic development,and the role of the state in shaping social outcomes. He has previously served as a consultant to numerous international organizations,including the united nations and the World Bank.
