New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office said Friday she and President Trump had a “productive” meeting at the White House while discussing several topics, such as tariffs and energy.
“Gov. Hochul and President Trump covered a broad range of topics in today’s meeting, including the redevelopment of Penn Station, congestion pricing, tariffs and energy policy,” a spokesperson for her office shared with Fox News Digital.
“While no formal agreements or decisions were reached, it was a productive conversation, and we look forward to continuing the dialogue in the coming weeks.”
The White House also confirmed the meeting to Fox News Digital but said it was off the record and there would be no readout.

Trump told reporters Thursday, “Kathy Hochul, very nice woman; she’s coming in tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock to meet me.”
He added they would be discussing reviving the Constitution natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania to New York, among other topics.
They met amid tensions between the two, including over congestion pricing. The Trump administration has ordered the termination of congestion pricing by next Friday.
In February, Trump posted from the White House X account, “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!”
