Donald Trump has garnered considerable criticism after he declared himself a 'king' regarding the federal government's decision to terminate New York City's congestion pricing program. His comments on social media were met with swift condemnation from New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who emphasized the importance of public transport and reiterated the rule of law. Hochul stated that New Yorkers fought against 'kings' for over two centuries and are determined to protect their transit system, with further legal actions planned against the federal decision. New York City officials expressed their intent to resist Trump's narrative and actions.
Public transit is the lifeblood of New York City and critical to our economic future. We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king.
New York hasn't labored under a king in over 250 years. We sure as hell are not going to start now.
We do not back down, not now, not ever. In case you don't know New Yorkers, we're going to fight.
We stood up to a king: New York will sue to block Trump move to halt congestion pricing.
