Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer confronted Trump Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy over job cuts amid a series of air disasters.

The Trump administration is moving ahead with its plan to kill New York City’s congestion pricing – a controversial tolling program designed to help raise millions in critical infrastructure funding and decrease traffic in Manhattan’s most congested zones.

U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Wednesday announced his agency will end New York City's congestion pricing enacted by the state.

New York became the first city in the U.S. to implement congestion pricing, with funds s set to fund much-needed repairs to the MTA.

Donald Trump claimed Wednesday that he has ended New York’s congestion pricing , boasting in all caps that he “SAVED” the city in a Truth Social post that ended with the declaration “LONG LIVE THE KING!”

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he has rescinded approval of the tolling.

Duffy did not give a time frame for trying to shut down congestion pricing, saying only that federal officials would contact the state to "discuss the orderly cessation of toll operations." MTA CEO Janno Lieber said tolling would "continue notwithstanding this baseless effort to snatch those benefits away."

The U.S. Department of Transportation is withdrawing its support for New York City’s controversial congestion pricing plan and will discuss with the state and stakeholders how to end the program, the agency announced Wednesday.

In a letter to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Feb. 19, USDOT Secretary Sean Duffy rescinded a Nov. 21, 2024, agreement signed under the Value Pricing Pilot Program, saying

The federal waiver granted to the state of New York by the Department of Transportation has been rescinded as of Wednesday.

The transportation secretary said he would revoke federal approval for the program, citing the cost to motorists; the Metropolitan Transportation Authority quickly filed a lawsuit to stop the move.

DOT Secretary Sean Duffy terminated the program, which began Jan. 5 this year and implemented tolls on vehicles entering Manhattan below 60th Street.
