Trump to Meet New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani at Gracie Mansion

US President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday, September 21, at Gracie Mansion, the official residence of the city’s mayor.

The meeting comes as Trump travels to New York for the United Nations General Assembly. Mamdani’s office confirmed the meeting, saying discussions will focus on “issues affecting New York City and New Yorkers.” Neither City Hall nor the White House initially provided a detailed agenda.

The encounter will mark the third face-to-face meeting between Trump and Mamdani and the first to take place in New York City. Their previous meetings were held at the White House, first in November 2025 when Mamdani was mayor-elect and again in February 2026.

Their relationship has attracted attention because the two politicians have significant political differences and have previously exchanged criticism. However, their meetings at the White House have been described by both sides as constructive, with discussions including housing and affordability.

Following their February meeting, Mamdani described the talks as “productive” and said he was interested in working with the federal government on increasing housing construction in New York. He has also said that he and Trump remain in contact while maintaining disagreements on a number of issues.

Trump’s visit comes as New York prepares to host the annual UN General Assembly, which is bringing heads of state and government officials from around the world to the city. Trump is scheduled to address the General Assembly on Tuesday. Reuters reported that his schedule also includes meetings with several foreign leaders during his New York visit.

CBS News reported that the meeting at Gracie Mansion is expected to be closed to the press and is listed around 4 p.m., although City Hall had not initially released a public time for the encounter.

The meeting is expected to provide another opportunity for the federal and city governments to discuss issues affecting New Yorkers, although the specific subjects to be addressed had not been publicly disclosed ahead of the meeting.
