NEWYORK: New York city Mayor Eric Adams congratulated President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance and wished them all the best as they work to promote the interests of the American people. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Addressing media briefing, Mayor Adams said that as mayor of America’s largest city, our main team will work with the incoming administration for the good of all New Yorkers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe will collaborate with our mayors across this country to come up with a real agenda that could help cities across America, including making sure we continue to get support for our housing, infrastructure, education, health care and more. And I intend to defend and fight for our city’s values as part of the process,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mayor Adams said that no matter who is president or what party controls Congress, New York city will always stand up for the rights of women, our immigrant brothers and sisters, our LGBTQ+ community and millions of others. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn New York, women can be confident that their reproductive rights are secure. Our city remains committed to protecting and advancing women’s health care, including access to abortion care. No matter what happens across the country, abortion care will always be available in New York City for anyone who needs it. That includes women outside of this city who come here seeking the care they are denied in other places,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said that we also intend to protect our immigrant communities, and we will work with the new administration in Congress to develop a realistic and compassionate national strategy for our immigration system. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis includes pushing Congress to provide expedited authorization for asylum seekers who desire to work, and they are already here,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo those immigrants who are living here pursuing the American dream, as so many generations did before you, New York City stands with you. Our city will also continue to offer care, resources and legal help to those who need it. Regardless of immigration status, we will be here for you. New York City will always remain a city of immigrants and a beacon of liberty around the globe. And our administration’s executive order protects physicians providing gender affirming care,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs Americans, we respect the will of the power of the people and [are] committed to the peaceful transfer of power. And while our city will always respect their right to peaceful protests, there will be zero tolerance for actions that cross the line and to crimes such as violence, vandalism, blocking traffic, or disorderly behavior,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mayor Adams said that his administration is working every single day to make this a safer, more affordable city for all New Yorkers and we will work with the incoming administration to ensure we can continue to build critical infrastructure throughout the five boroughs. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUnder Deputy Mayor Joshi’s leadership, we will continue to fight for every dollar to build the infrastructure we need to keep our city functioning and create climate resiliency. These are generational projects that we must move forward, no matter who is in the White House,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also appreciated Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz for running a powerful campaign that inspired and uplifted women, communities of color and millions of others across the nation. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs Americans, we must find a way to unite our country as we move forward. I understand that this has been a difficult and divisive campaign, but the millions of ballot casts show that American democracy remains strong,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf we have seen anything over the last 248 years, it is that American people will never give up on trying to make this a better nation for all. But it takes work, it takes commitment, and it takes grit. Democracy is not something that happens every four years. It’s the work we do every day, especially here in New York City. I urge every New Yorker to stay engaged in our political process. Make your voices heard and keep your community strong. New York City continues to be a place where all are free to express their opinions peacefully. This is how we built this great nation and how we will keep New York the greatest city on the globe,\u201d he added. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
