New York City Mayor Eric Adams and President Donald Trump are giving slightly different accounts of their meeting on Friday.
In a video posted on X on Friday afternoon, Adams — strolling outside the White House — said he spoke with Trump about important issues for New York City and investments for manufacturing, among other initiatives.
“It is my obligation to deliver for the people of New York,” Adams said. “And as a city that’s the largest city in America, we must have a dialogue with the White House, and that’s what we’re going to do.”
When asked about the meeting during a spray in the Oval Office, Trump said that he and Adams discussed “almost nothing.”
“He came in to say hello. He was very nice. I think he came in to thank me, frankly,” Trump said without elaborating.
Asked if Adams is complying with Immigration and Customs Enforcement like Trump would like, the president deferred to border czar Tom Homan.
