President Trump on Wednesday declared New York “saved” after his administration announced it would rescind the Biden-era approval of a congestion pricing plan.
“CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED.” Trump posted to his Truth Social. “LONG LIVE THE KING!”

“New York State’s congestion pricing plan is a slap in the face to working class Americans and small business owners,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a statement. “Every American should be able to access New York City regardless of their economic means. It shouldn’t be reserved for an elite few.”
Trump’s added call of “long live the king,” which was reshared on the social platform X by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, comes just after protesters rallied in cities across the country on Monday, dubbing the Presidents Day holiday as “No Kings Day.” Demonstrations took place in Washington, D.C., and New York City, among other places.
