President Donald Trump praised New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday, setting aside past political differences to discuss immigration enforcement and a proposed $21 billion housing project during their third public meeting. Trump, who previously called Mamdani "my little communist" and a "total nut job," expressed hope for the mayor's success. Mamdani said he conveyed "very strong opinions" on keeping New Yorkers safe, including concerns over Trump's removal of 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. Mamdani said he insisted all press be welcome at their joint conference, while Trump dismissed the boycott as ineffective.
