Mamdani confirmed his stance on the issue during a speech at a church in the Bronx on Sunday, telling parishioners that he and Trump did not see eye-to-eye on the issue.

"I'll let the president speak for himself, but I did make very clear that our focus comes back to public safety, delivering for each and every New Yorker and knowing that there may be disagreements between the president and myself, and there will continue to be," Mamdani said.

"And I will always make the case for each and every person that calls this city home," he added.

"I expect to be helping him, not hurting him - a big help," Trump said Friday.
