MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio met with Donald Trump for 62 minutes Wednesday morning at the president-elect's home in Trump Tower along Fifth Avenue, the site of ongoing protests and a mess of new security measures since Trump was elected, and briefed reporters about their "candid" and "substantive" conversation shortly after outside Trump Tower.

De Blasio said to reporters that he "put his cards out on the table" with the president-elect on issues like discrimination, tax cuts for the wealthy, the economy, the city's infrastructure and the NYPD. The mayor said he told Trump that the people of NYC were fearful of potential deportations and bigotry against women, LGBT, people of color, Muslims and Jews.

"I told him we were very concerned that we had to show all New Yorkers, including Muslim New Yorkers, that they were welcome, and that exclusionary policies would undermine our ability to create unity," de Blasio said. The mayor said he told Trump that New Yorkers were extremely concerned about his proposed deportations. De Blasio said he gave the president-elect the perspective that any deportations would create a rift between the NYPD and the communities they serve.

We discussed Stop & Frisk and the wedge it created between police and community. Since we changed that policy the city has gotten safer.

The mayor said he knew he and the president-elect had extensive philosophical differences but they had engaged in a productive dialogue.

"I reiterated to the president-elect that I would be open-minded as we continued substantive discussions, but I would also be vigilant and swift to react" if Trump took an action against the interests of New Yorkers.

Now "the ball's in his court," de Blasio said. "People in this city and all over the country are looking to see what he's going to do."
