Trump and Hochul to Discuss Pipeline and Energy Policy at White House Meeting

President Trump has threatened to use federal authority to override New York's opposition to the Constitution Pipeline as he prepares to meet Governor Hochul on Friday.

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.
