Trump's administration is revoking approval for New York City's congestion pricing plan, which is raising money to upgrade the subway system.

Summary

Trump revoked federal approval for New York City’s congestion pricing plan, which aimed to reduce traffic and fund public transit.

Trump celebrated on social media, declaring, “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD… LONG LIVE THE KING!” In response, Governor Kathy Hochul stated, “We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king,” and confirmed the MTA is pursuing legal action.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy claimed the tolls harmed working-class Americans. The $9 fee had improved traffic flow, but enforcement will now be halted.

      Huffington Post didn’t make that statement in this article. They quoted Trump as saying that, by referencing his tweet.
