The Republican president and New York’s Democratic governor met for more than an hour in the Oval Office, a Hochul spokesperson said. The pair “had a frank, candid conversation about New York’s key priorities including congestion pricing, immigration, infrastructure, economic development, energy, offshore wind and nuclear power. Governor Hochul also presented President Trump with a booklet on the early success of congestion pricing.”
