Trump praises Mamdani after meeting in New York
U.S. President Donald Trump complimented New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday during a meeting in Manhattan, despite their political differences. The two discussed immigration enforcement and a multi-billion-dollar housing project, which would require an estimated $21 billion in federal funding. Mamdani expressed strong opinions about keeping New Yorkers safe, contrasting with Trump's mass deportation plans.
The pair acknowledged many disagreements but agreed to continue cooperating. Trump, a Republican, had previously criticized Mamdani, but their relationship has improved, especially after their third public meeting since Mamdani won the mayoral election last year.
