informacion.es (Spanish)

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and President Donald Trump met Monday in New York, discussing affordable housing and the immigration status of Haitians in the city. The socialist Democrat invited Trump to Gracie Mansion ahead of the UN General Assembly, where they agreed on a project for about 12,000 housing units at Sunnyside Yard in Queens, focusing on federal financing and legal authorizations. Trump emphasized affordability for low- and moderate-income residents, while Mamdani voiced strong opinions on protecting immigrants, noting Washington's cancellation of TPS for Haitians. Trump only said Mamdani has "strong opinions" on immigration, adding he has his own about caring for people. The hour-long meeting included White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and mayoral advisor Elle Bisgaard-Church, but not Stephen Miller. Trump praised Mamdani's potential as mayor, despite their ideological differences.
