President Donald Trump, in an interview with Punchbowl News, said he would \u201cprobably get along\u201d well with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York) if he became House speaker next year.<\/p>\n

Jeffries is likely to become the first Black House speaker in January if Democrats win back the House, which is currently controlled by Republicans.<\/p>\n

Though Trump and Jeffries have officially met in person only once during an Oval Office meeting in September 2025, they have an adversarial relationship, with Jeffries often blaming the president for rising costs in the United States and ongoing war with Iran.<\/p>\n

When asked whether he could do business with Jeffries, Trump said, \u201cI think so.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d probably get along with him very well,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

Spokespeople for Jeffries did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
