00:00I will be heading to Washington, D.C. tomorrow to meet with President Trump in the White

00:04House.

00:05It is customary for an incoming mayor of this city to meet with the White House, given the

00:10mutual reliance.

00:11It's more critical than ever, given the national crisis of affordability, one that New Yorkers

00:18know very well across these five boroughs, and the specific challenge many cities are

00:23facing with balancing public safety against steps taken by this administration.

00:29I know that for tens of thousands of New Yorkers, this meeting is between two very different

00:33candidates who they voted for for the same reason.

00:37They wanted a leader who would take on the cost of living crisis that makes it impossible

00:42for working people to afford living in this city.

00:45My team reached out to the White House to set up this meeting because I will work with anyone

00:50to make life more affordable for the more than 8.5 million people who call this city home.

00:55I have many disagreements with the President, and I believe that we should be relentless

01:01and pursue all avenues and all meetings that could make our city affordable for every single

01:07New Yorker.

01:08I intend to make it clear to President Trump that I will work with him on any agenda that

01:13benefits New Yorkers.

01:16If an agenda hurts New Yorkers, I will also be the first to say so.
