New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces his first major test as a massive snowstorm hits the city. Partnership for New York City President and CEO Steven Fulop, in his first TV interview since taking the helm, discusses the outlook for business in New York under Mamdani’s leadership. Then, after 60 executives of Minnesota-based companies co-signed a letter calling for calm in Minneapolis, former chairman and CEO of Minnesota-based Medtronic Bill George weighs in the corporate response to the fatal shootings of U.S. citizens at the hands of ICE. George discusses the difficult balance between maintaining a relationship with the Trump administration and prioritizing their business interests. Plus, India and the European Union have reached a trade deal, and Corning landed a $6 billion AI infrastructure contract with Meta.
