Washington, United States: New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani met President Donald Trump on Thursday to urge him to release $21 billion in federal grants to build 12,000 affordable housing units and infrastructure.
Mamdani posted an image of himself at the White House presenting Trump with a mock newspaper front-page that read: "Trump to city: Let's build".
The meeting between the two men was not announced in advance.
The amount includes funding for affordable housing units and infrastructure in a Queens neighborhood, including parks, schools and health centers, according to a statement from Mamdani's office.
"The proposal represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to confront the city's housing crisis at the scale it demands," the statement said.
