dawn.com —
President Donald Trump praised New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani during a Monday meeting, expressing hope for his success despite past insults and political differences. The pair discussed immigration enforcement and a $21 billion, 12,000-home housing proposal during their hour-long Manhattan talks, their third public meeting since Mamdani took office in January. Mamdani said he voiced strong opinions on keeping New Yorkers safe regarding Trump's Temporary Protected Status cuts. Trump's visit coincided with major TV networks boycotting coverage over his ban of three outlets from the White House. Mamdani said he welcomed all press at their joint conference, while Trump dismissed the boycott as ineffective.
