Trump to Address UN General Assembly; Mamdani Discusses Affordable Housing With President | NTD Good Morning (Sept. 22)

President Donald Trump will address the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, before a series of meetings with world leaders. He’s also expected to sign a security agreement with Denmark and Greenland. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is also in New York for the General Assembly and is expected to meet with Trump. The president’s schedule also includes bilateral meetings with the leaders of the UK and Japan, as well as a meeting with Gulf Cooperation Council leaders.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Trump met at Gracie Mansion to discuss affordable housing on Monday. A new project in Sunnyside Yards could bring thousands of homes to the city. The proposed development includes housing, parks, schools, retail, and community facilities, according to the project plan. Mamdani says he asked the president for $21 billion in federal grants for the project back in February.

A federal appeals panel on Monday sided with Republicans seeking to use Missouri’s 2025 congressional map in the Nov. 3 midterm elections, the same lines that were used in the Aug. 4 primaries. The ruling does not necessarily mean the 2025 map, which gives Republicans a 7–1 advantage over Democrats, will appear on the ballot. County clerks have already begun sending military and overseas ballots under the 2022 map.

A Sept. 10 U.S. Supreme Court stay still blocks U.S. District Judge Stephen Clark’s temporary restraining order, which says that only the 2025 map may be used. When it was issued, the justices’ stay had the effect of keeping in place the 2022 map, which gives Republicans a 6–2 edge.
