Trump and NYC Mayor Mamdani meet at Gracie Mansion before UN speech
wmur.com —
President Donald Trump met with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for an hour at Gracie Mansion on Monday, ahead of his United Nations speech, as world leaders gathered in the city. The Republican president and democratic socialist mayor discussed a potential housing project in Queens and making New York more affordable, continuing their surprisingly warm relationship despite political differences. They have met at least twice previously, including an Oval Office visit last year. Trump, who recalled past visits to the mansion, defended his restrictions on certain news outlets, while Mamdani stressed the importance of press presence. The mayor said he will keep talking with anyone who can deliver relief to the city.
