The meeting lasted an hour, according to a person who witnessed the gathering, and the men dined from a buffet-style setup near where Sylvester Stallone, whom Mr. Trump just named as one of his three “special ambassadors” to Hollywood, was having lunch. 
The surprise trip to Florida by Mr. Adams, a Democrat who is confronting an uphill battle for re-election this year, comes as the mayor faces an April trial on federal corruption charges. 
Mr. Trump, a Republican, said last month that he would consider granting Mr. Adams a pardon, arguing that both men had been “persecuted” by politically motivated prosecutors.
