Trump visits New York Mayor Mamdani in first such trip in 44 years
President Donald Trump made an unusual visit to New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's official residence on Monday, marking the first such presidential visit in 44 years despite their stark ideological differences. The meeting, characterized by surprising bonhomie, saw the Democratic Socialist mayor and Trump bond over construction projects, including Mamdani's proposal for a 12,000-unit housing complex. Mamdani said he voiced opposition to Trump's immigration policies during their discussion. Trump praised Mamdani as "off to a good start," while the mayor affirmed his commitment to press access. The two had previously met at the White House in February, and Mamdani was scheduled to meet Trump critic Bernie Sanders afterward.
