The president said the pipeline would save New York families approximately $5,000 in energy costs, and that other states in New England already want the pipeline.
President Donald Trump on Thursday announced that he will be meeting with New York's Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul on Friday to discuss plans for an energy pipeline in the state.
Trump and Hochul have clashed over plans for the pipeline in the past, which was nixed by New York in 2020, along with Hochul’s congestion traffic pricing program in New York City. The program is also expected to be discussed during the White House meeting, sources told The Hill.
The president told reporters that the pipeline would save New York families approximately $5,000 in energy costs, and that other states in New England already want the pipeline.
“The governor of New York Kathy Hochul, who’s a very nice woman, she’s coming in tomorrow morning at nine o’clock to meet on that and other things,” Trump said. “I hope we don’t have to use the extraordinary power of the federal government to get it done, but if we have to, we will ... I can tell you Connecticut wants and all of New England wants it. And who wouldn’t want it?”
Hochul said that she "looks forward" to the meeting, and admitted the pair have "quite an agenda" to talk through. It comes after the pair met in the Oval Office last month.
