New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he reached a deal with President Donald Trump for a 90-day delay on new federal SNAP rules for small retailers across the country, including about 10,000 city bodegas. Mamdani said the extension starts Friday after conversations with Trump and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins. The rules require stores to stock a greater variety of products to keep accepting SNAP benefits, the coverage says. Mamdani had earlier joined a bipartisan letter urging the administration to delay the requirements, warning that stores unable to comply could lose the ability to accept SNAP payments.
