A terceira cidade mais cara do mundo. E um em cada quatro nova-iorquinos vivem na pobreza”, disse Mandani, acrescentando que o presidente do Brasil é uma “inspiração” para ele. Lula criticou o fato de a Europa e o Japão terem aumentando os investimentos em armas e defesa militar, enquanto não teria sobrado “quase nada” para políticas de educação e de combate à fome. “Como ele [Mamdani] é uma pessoa muito jovem, que tem muitos anos [de] vida [pela frente], eu espero que ele esteja preparado para se transformar num grande soldado, para colocar fim ou diminuir a pobreza e a invisibilidade que vivem os pobres”, disse Lula a jornalistas.
