Trump and Mamdani meet in New York to discuss immigration and housing
President Donald Trump and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani met in Manhattan on Monday, striking a warm tone despite political differences to discuss immigration enforcement and a $21 billion housing project ahead of the UN General Assembly. The hour-long closed-door talks marked their third public meeting since Mamdani took office. Trump praised the mayor, while Mamdani said he expressed "very strong opinions" on keeping New Yorkers safe, particularly regarding Trump's cuts to Temporary Protected Status for immigrants. Trump had previously called Mamdani "my little communist" before his January inauguration, but the two have developed a cooperative relationship. The meeting occurred as major TV networks boycotted coverage of Trump over his ban of three outlets from the White House.
