Trump, Mamdani Meet at Gracie Mansion During UN General Assembly Visit

Trump and Mamdani discussed housing, immigration and public safety as the mayor opened technical talks on a $21 billion Queens project, officials said.

  • On September 21, 2026, President Donald Trump met New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani at Gracie Mansion, marking the first presidential visit to the mayoral residence in 45 years.
  • Their third in-person meeting continued a collaborative dynamic established in November 2025 and February 2026, when Trump and Mamdani discussed affordable housing and city issues at the White House.
  • Negotiators will advance technical talks on a $21 billion plan to construct 12,000 housing units above the 190-acre Sunnyside Yard in Queens, which Mamdani first pitched to Trump in February.
  • Mamdani insisted all press be allowed on the Gracie Mansion lawn, countering Trump's recent ban on specific outlets, which Trump defended as an "obligation to be fair."
  • Despite their warm public rapport, the leaders acknowledged sharp disagreements on immigration, particularly regarding the administration's removal of Temporary Protected Status for thousands of Haitian immigrants.
