New York Governor Kathy Hochul (C) holds a picture of US President Donald Trump during a press conference at Grand Central Terminal on February 19, 2025 in New York City. President Donald Trump’s administration moved February 19, 2025 to revoke federal approval of New York City’s nascent congestion pricing toll model, prompting New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority to file suit. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said the program, the first of its kind in the nation, oversteps what is allowed and that he agrees with Trump that it is an unfair tax on blue-collar Americans entering Manhattan. New York launched a controversial scheme on January 6, 2025 to charge drivers entering parts of the city, a first in the United States, putting local authorities on a collision course with President-elect Donald Trump.
