Trump-Mamdani meeting kicks off busy week of UN events in NYC

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- President Donald Trump met with Mayor Zohran Mamdani at Gracie Mansion on Monday ahead of the president's speech at the United Nations General Assembly.

The president arrived to Gracie Mansion just before 4 p.m., and then delivered a joint press conference with Mayor Mamdani immediately after.

The meeting marks the third face-to-face meeting between Trump and Mamdani since Mamdani met with the president in the Oval Office in February following his historic election victory.

Before that, the two leaders held what was described as their first high-stakes meeting in November 2025.

Trump has been to Gracie Mansion at least twice before. In 2003, Trump attended former Mayor Rudy Giuliani's wedding at Gracie Mansion. In 2007, Trump attended a book party for Rep. Charles Rangel. Both events were hosted by then-Mayor Bloomberg
