Trump and Hochul Discuss Congestion Pricing, Pipeline, and Infrastructure in White House Meeting

The meeting addressed contentious issues including congestion pricing, the Constitution pipeline, and federal funding for New York projects.

President Trump and Governor Hochul met at the White House to discuss key issues affecting New York, including infrastructure and energy policy.
The Constitution pipeline, a project blocked by New York over environmental concerns, was a major focus, with Trump threatening federal intervention to push it forward.
Hochul defended New York's congestion pricing program, which Trump has opposed, emphasizing its benefits for reducing traffic and funding transit improvements.
The governor sought additional federal funding for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the redevelopment of Penn Station.
No formal agreements were reached, but both sides described the conversation as productive and pledged to continue discussions in the coming weeks.
