New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to Host President Donald Trump at Gracie Mansion

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is set to meet with President Donald Trump on Monday at Gracie Mansion ahead of the United Nations General Assembly, according to an announcement from Mamdani’s office. This marks the first time President Donald Trump will meet with Mayor Zohran Mamdani on his home turf in Manhattan.

A spokesperson for Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated that the discussions will focus on key issues impacting New York City and its residents. President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, and the White House has confirmed the upcoming meeting without releasing further details.

This encounter will be the third in-person meeting between Mayor Zohran Mamdani and President Donald Trump. Their previous interactions include a November 2025 meeting in the Oval Office following the election, and a subsequent meeting in February. Despite ideological differences, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and President Donald Trump have maintained a surprisingly pragmatic relationship, with aides pointing to tangible outcomes such as federal engagement on local issues and housing initiatives in Queens.

The meeting also places Mayor Zohran Mamdani in a prominent position during the UN General Assembly, as world leaders and journalists gather in New York City. Meanwhile, security and diplomatic schedules remain dense, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also scheduled to address the United Nations later in the week.
