President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani struck a notably cordial tone during a joint appearance at Gracie Mansion on Monday, despite their major political differences. After meeting privately, Trump praised Mamdani's potential and said he hoped the new mayor would become a 'great' leader for New York. The meeting marked the pair's third face-to-face encounter and included discussions on housing, immigration and ways to address the city's cost-of-living pressures. #nyc #mamdani #trump #usa #news
