Zohran Mamdani met with Donald Trump in Washington on Thursday, during an unannounced trip to the nation’s capital.
On social media, the New York mayor said he had a “productive” meeting with the US president and he was “looking forward to building more housing in New York City”.
Mamdani also said he spoke to the president on the phone after the meeting to discuss the arrest of Elmina Aghayeva, a Columbia University student who was detained by federal immigration agents on Thursday.
“He has just informed me that she will be released imminently,” Mamdani said. The White House did not reply to the Guardian’s request for comment.
