Overview

  • President Trump and New York Governor Kathy Hochul are scheduled to meet at the White House on Friday to discuss the Constitution Pipeline and other energy policies.
  • Trump has criticized New York's long-standing opposition to the pipeline, claiming it could save families in the region up to $5,000 annually in energy costs.
  • The pipeline project has been stalled since 2020 due to New York's rejection of water permits under state and federal environmental laws.
  • Trump has stated he may invoke federal authority to bypass New York's opposition if an agreement cannot be reached during the meeting.
  • The meeting will also address other issues, including congestion pricing in New York City, which has been a source of contention between Trump and Hochul.
