Mamdani Meets Trump, Pitches Historic $21 Billion Housing Deal

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani traveled to Washington, D.C. to meet with President Trump in the Oval Office, proposing a plan to build more than 12,000 new homes in New York City, which would represent the largest housing development the city has seen since 1973. Trump expressed interest in the proposal, with Mamdani saying he looks forward to further conversations about addressing the city's chronic housing shortage. The two also discussed immigration cases, an issue Mamdani acknowledged is a pressing concern for many New Yorkers.
