Trump and Mamdani discuss housing and Haitian migrants in New York meeting
New York 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. Trump emphasized affordability for low- and moderate-income residents, while Mamdani raised concerns about Haitian immigrants after Washington canceled their Temporary Protected Status. Trump praised Mamdani's potential as mayor, though the meeting also touched on press access, with Trump defending his ban on certain media outlets. Mamdani said he would speak with anyone who can help New Yorkers.
