President Trump is heading to Gracie Mansion later today for a meeting with New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani
0:08
And if that sounds like an unlikely invitation, remember these two have gotten along a lot better in private than their politics might suggest
0:16
This will be their third face-to-face meeting, but their first in New York
0:20
The first was at the White House last November, just after Mamdani was elected
0:25
They met again in February when Mamdani pitched Trump on a massive housing project in Queens

Mamdani says the two have stayed in touch since then. The mayor's office isn't saying much about what's on the agenda today, only that they'll discuss issues affecting New Yorkers
0:40
Immigration could come up. Just last week, Mamdani announced a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's expansion of its public charge rule
0:49
which can make it harder for some immigrants to get green cards. And then there's where they're meeting

Presidential visits to Gracie Manchin are pretty rare. Harry Truman was there in 1949

John F. Kennedy visited in 1962 to speak to a gathering of U.S. mayors
1:07
And Ronald Reagan went in 1981 presenting Mayor Ed Koch with a giant prop check for a Manhattan infrastructure project

Trump will be in New York for the U.N. General Assembly and is scheduled to address it tomorrow
