President Trump is said to be moving closer to pulling the plug on congestion pricing​, but is still in ongoing talks with Gov. Kathy Hochul.

In the 36 days congestion pricing has been in effect, there’s been something looming over the nation’s first congestion toll: President Donald Trump. Over the weekend, the president reportedly gave exclusive comments to the New York Post in which he referenced recent conversations with New York Gov.

NEW YORK CITY - President Donald Trump said he intends to "kill" congestion pricing in New York City. Trump says it's hurting businesses, but that isn't the only change he wants to see in New York. Trump reportedly said that if he ends up killing congestion pricing, he will do it in D.C. through the Federal Department of Transportation.

In an interview with The New York Post, President Trump said that congestion pricing hurt New York City but indicated that he was still talking with Gov. Kathy Hochul.

In Morning Consult's survey of 1,200 registered voters, 6 out of 10 New Yorkers say President Trump should allow the controversial tolling plan to continue. It has been about a month since congestion pricing went into effect, and driving around the city has gotten more expensive, but some drivers say they are having an easier time moving around.

It’s the first time since Trump took office that he has publicly acknowledged that he is considering repealing New York’s congestion pricing program, which took effect January 5. Newsday has previously reported that Hochul and Trump have discussed the future of the program and that Trump was considering stopping it.

President Donald Trump told the New York Post he's had at least two phone calls with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul about killing the controversial tolling program in Manhattan.

Donald Trump has renewed his attacks on New York City's congestion pricing, claiming he can use the U.S. Department of Transportation to "kill" the program.

In an interview with the New York Post, the president indicated his intentions to “kill” the program but provided few details on his plans.

Early data shows the program is reducing traffic, boosting subway use, improving travel times and even gaining support from those who pay the toll.
