Mamdani Meets With Trump On Housing, Says Columbia Student Taken By ICE Will Be Freed
HuffPost
Trump was "very enthusiastic" about Mamdani's housing proposals for New York City, the mayor's office said.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he and President Donald Trump had a “productive meeting” on Thursday and that he’s “looking forward to building more housing in New York City.”
The meeting marks the second time the president and the city’s new Democratic socialist mayor met in the White House. It follows an unexpectedly friendly meeting between the two men in December, when Trump outright gushed about meeting his hometown’s new mayor and predicted he’d be “really great” after months of trashing him on the campaign.
Joe Calvello, Mamdani’s press secretary, told reporters that the last time they met, Trump asked him to return with “big ideas” about building in New York.
In his post about the meeting, Mamdani included a photo showing him with Trump holding two printouts of New York Daily News front pages: a real one from 1975 about President Gerald Ford refusing to bail out the city, and a fake one that reads “Trump to City: Let’s Build.” Beneath the Trump headline is text that reads: “Delivers 12,000+ Homes; Most Since 1973.”
Calvello told reporters after the meeting that Mamdani’s team mocked up the newspaper props for Trump and that the figures on the page refer to a real proposal.
