Trump plans to build major Northeast pipeline. Will New York’s Democrat governor get on board?

President Trump met with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to discuss, among other things, the Constitution Pipeline, which Trump said he plans to build. Trump has some bargaining chips, including congestion pricing and a SALT tax deduction cap, to offer. If built, experts say the pipeline will not only lower costs, it could save lives.

President Donald Trump met recently with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to discuss, among other things, building a pipeline project that New York had blocked in 2020. Trump had discussed the meeting the day before. 

“We’re working on one project, and it should be very easy. It’s a pipeline going through a small section of New York. New York has held it up for years, actually,” Trump said on March 13. While he didn’t name the project, the president’s description fit that of the Constitution Pipeline.
