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.

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.
