New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani hosted US President Donald Trump for a closed-door meeting at his official residence. The two leaders set aside sharp political differences to discuss immigration and a shared goal of building thousands of new homes in Queens. Addressing Trump’s recent ban on several major news outlets, Mamdani firmly stated, “I told the President that all the press would be here.” Trump brushed off the media tensions, noting the press has “an obligation to be fair,” and praised the mayor’s “great potential.” Defending the invitation, Mamdani emphasized his commitment to working with anyone who can “deliver results” for New Yorkers.
