I appreciated the meeting with the President, and as he said, it was a productive meeting focused on a place of shared admiration and love, which is New York City, and the need to deliver affordability to New Yorkers.

I appreciated the time with the President.

I appreciated the conversation.

I look forward to working together to deliver that affordability for New Yorkers.

We discussed ICE and New York City, and I spoke about how the laws that we have in New York City allow for New York City government to speak to the federal administration for about 170 serious crimes.

And after President Trump said that, I said yes.

So you do?

And that's something that I've said in the past, I say it today.

And I think what I appreciated about the conversation that I had with the president was that we were not shy about the places of disagreement about the politics that has brought us to this moment.

And we also wanted to focus on what it could look like to deliver on a shared analysis of an affordability crisis for New Yorkers.

Everything that I've said in the past, I continue to believe.
