U.S. President Donald Trump heaped praise Monday (September 21, 2026) on New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani as the pair set aside their political differences to discuss immigration enforcement and a multi-billion dollar housing project.
Mr. Trump, a Republican, heavily criticised Mr. Mamdani before he took office in January — calling him "my little communist" and a "total nut job" — but the two men have since struck a surprisingly warm relationship.
"Hopefully, you're going to be a great [mayor]. I'll be able to say you're going to be a great one, and you're off to a start," Mr. Trump told Mr. Mamdani at a news conference.
