Trump and Mamdani meet at Gracie Mansion to discuss immigration and affordability

President Donald Trump met with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani at Gracie Mansion on Monday, their first meeting in the city, following two previously amicable discussions in Washington. The hour-long meeting covered affordability, a Queens development proposal, and immigration policy. Mamdani characterized the discussion as "wide-ranging" after appearing with Trump at a news conference. The meeting addressed the administration's decision to strip Temporary Protected Status from some immigrant groups, including Haitians, a topic that remains a source of tension between the two. Trump is in New York for a United Nations General Assembly speech on Tuesday. The meeting follows leftist electoral victories nationwide, and the pair have previously exchanged public insults, though Trump praised Mamdani at their first Oval Office meeting in November.
