Trump and Mamdani meet in New York to discuss housing and Queens project

President Donald Trump and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani met at Gracie Mansion on Monday to discuss housing, affordability, and a possible Queens project, despite their significant political differences. The hour-long meeting, held during Trump's visit for the UN General Assembly, focused on a potential housing project in Queens and measures to make New York more affordable for working-class residents. The two appeared together afterward, with Trump recalling previous visits to the mansion. This was at least their third meeting, following an Oval Office visit after Mamdani's election and a February trip to Washington. They also differed on media access, with Mamdani saying restricted outlets should be present and Trump defending his White House restrictions.
