> New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani reached a deal with Donald Trump to delay new Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program rules by 90 days, giving bodegas and corner stores nationwide more time to comply. Mamdani said the extension starts Friday. The rules require stores to carry at least seven varieties in each of several staple-food categories and perishables in three categories.
