New York Post • • nation
Key Points:
- President Trump invited New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to the White House to "see how I work" during a meeting at Gracie Mansion focused on immigration and a Queens affordable housing project needing federal support.
- The meeting marked the first presidential visit to the mayor’s official residence since 1981 and highlighted collaboration on the Sunnyside Yards affordable housing initiative, which Mamdani revived but requires federal funding.
- Despite their political differences—Trump being a conservative Republican and Mamdani a socialist—the two have developed an unusual friendship since a February Oval Office meeting, with both expressing willingness to work together for New York City.
- The interaction contrasts with earlier public exchanges of insults between the two, signaling a shift toward a more cooperative relationship aimed at addressing city challenges like housing and cost of living.
- Trump praised Mamdani’s potential as mayor, expressing hope he will be “a great one,” while Mamdani appreciated the president’s commitment and shared memories of Gracie Mansion during their discussion.
