President Donald Trump and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul have spoken twice in the past week about ending congestion pricing in New York City, a source familiar with the conversation tells CBS News New York's Marcia Kramer.

The New York City tolling program began on Jan. 5 after defying obstacles for decades. A move to stop it would likely touch off a legal battle between the state and federal government.

Second, he took aim at the specific legal route New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has suggested Trump take to congestion pricing — a more extensive environmental review. That seems like it could fly in the face of Trump’s own attempts to speed up permitting for other projects.

President Donald Trump may move to halt congestion pricing in New York City, a move that may be welcomed by Gov. Phil Murphy, who has opposed it.

A source familiar says Trump and Hochul talked twice this week over the phone, with the President saying he’ll make a decision over what to do about the much-maligned toll next week.

Donald Trump could halt New York’s controversial congestion pricing program despite it successfully unsnarling many of the city’s bumper-to-bumper streets.

Trump has repeatedly stated he opposes the MTA congestion tolling plan, which charges most motorists $9 a day to enter Manhattan south of 60th St.

President Donald Trump has maintained his opposition to congestion pricing in New York and has spoken to Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) twice in the past week about it. Hochul wants to keep the program, which has resulted in 1 million fewer vehicles entering the congested spots in Manhattan since its start on Jan.
