00:00Any questions, please?

00:01President Trump, Stephen Nelson from the New York Post.

00:03I've got a question for you and then also one for Merrillette.

00:07For you, you've referred to Mr. Mamdani as a communist.

00:10Could you describe why you feel that way?

00:12And also, will you do anything to stop him from arresting Prime Minister Netanyahu if he visits New York?

00:18Well, we didn't discuss your second part of the question.

00:21And on your first part, I mean, he's got views that are a little out there, but who knows?

00:26I mean, we're going to see what works or he's going to change also.

00:30We all change.

00:30I change a lot, change a lot.

00:32From when I first came to office, it's now quite a while ago.

00:36It's quite a while.

00:37My first term was great.

00:39We had the greatest economy in the history of our country.

00:41We're doing even better now.

00:43We're doing much better now than we did even the first term.

00:57I think he's going to be, I think he is going to surprise some conservative people, actually, and some very liberal people.

01:04He won't surprise them because they already like him.

01:06And Mr. Mamdani, it sounds like you had a productive discussion.

01:11But just days ago, you referred to President Trump as a despot who betrayed the country.

01:15You said you'd be his worst nightmare and accused him of having a fascist agenda.

01:20Are you planning to retract any of these remarks in order to improve your relationship?

01:25I think both President Trump and I, we are very clear about our positions and our views.

01:30And what I really appreciate about the president is that the meeting that we had focused not on places of disagreement, which there are many,

01:37and also focused on the shared purpose that we have in serving New Yorkers.

01:41And frankly, that is something that could transform the lives of the eight and a half million people who are currently struggling

01:46under a cost of living crisis with one in four living in poverty.

01:49And the meeting came back again and again to what it could look like to lift those New Yorkers out of struggle

01:54and start to deliver them a city that they could do more than just struggle to afford it, but actually start to live in it.

01:58And I've been...
