Trump and Mamdani Meet in New York to Discuss Immigration and Housing
President Donald Trump met with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani in Manhattan for about an hour, discussing immigration enforcement and a proposed $21 billion housing project, marking their third public meeting since Mamdani's election. Trump praised the mayor despite previously calling him "my little communist" and a "total nut job," while Mamdani said he expressed "very strong opinions" on keeping New Yorkers safe, including opposition to Trump's cuts to Temporary Protected Status for immigrants. The meeting occurred as major TV networks boycotted coverage of Trump over his ban of three outlets from the White House, with Mamdani saying he told Trump all press would be welcome at their joint conference.
