Mamdani and Trump agree to 90-day delay on new food assistance rules for corner stores

New York City mayor says deal will allow bodegas and convenience stores across the country more time to comply

Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayor, has struck a deal with Donald Trump to secure a 90-day delay on new rules for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap), so that bodegas and corner stores across the country have time to comply.

The extension, Mamdani said, starts Friday as a result of conversations he had with Trump and Brooke Rollins, the agriculture secretary.
