(The Center Square) — President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani met at Gracie Mansion on Monday, telling reporters at a press conference after the closed-door meeting they discussed housing, immigration and the Big Apple's cost of living crisis.
Trump arrived at the mayor's official residence Monday evening ahead of his high-stakes meetings with global leaders this week at the 81st United Nations General Assembly. He is scheduled to deliver a major address and discuss international conflicts, trade, and artificial intelligence.
