Trump, New York Gov. Hochul discuss Constitution gas pipeline

WASHINGTON () New York Gov. Kathy Hochul met with President Donald Trump on Friday morning for talks that included potentially reviving the Constitution natural gas pipeline in the Northeast.

The pipeline would bring gas from Pennsylvania’s drilling fields to New York, but Williams Companies Inc. canceled the project in 2020 following opposition from politicians and environmentalists in New York.

Trump said a pipeline would lower the region’s energy prices, but it remains uncertain how it could be approved.

“Kathy Hochul, very nice woman; she’s coming in tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock to meet me on that and other things,” Trump told reporters Thursday in the Oval Office, an apparent reference to the project.

“I hope we don’t have to use the extraordinary powers of the federal government to get it done. But if we have to, we will, but I don’t think we’ll have to.”

Such pipelines are a top priority for Trump and the leaders of his Energy Dominance Council, co-chaired by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Energy Secretary Chris Wright.

Earlier this week, Hochul demanded Trump reverse U.S. tariffs placed on Canadian energy imports, arguing that the tariffs and Canadian retaliatory actions threaten to drive up electricity and heating costs for New Yorkers.

“I reached out to the president yesterday and said I want to carry on the conversation that we had in the Oval Office a couple weeks ago,” Hochul told reporters.
