The US government on Wednesday moved to kill New York's nascent congestion pricing scheme designed to ease traffic and finance public transport by imposing tolls on drivers in Manhattan -- a first-in-the-nation plan President Donald Trump had vowed to quash.

Former President Donald Trump has initiated a move to terminate New York City's congestion pricing plan, which was set to be the first of its kind in the United States. This plan aimed to charge drivers for entering Manhattan's central business district to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and fund public transit improvements. Trump's intervention has led to a legal challenge from environmental groups and transit advocates who argue that ending the program would be detrimental to the city's environmental goals and public transportation system. The contention revolves around the potential economic and environmental impacts, with critics of Trump's decision claiming it favors suburban commuters over urban residents and could lead to increased pollution and traffic. The legal battle is ongoing, with significant implications for urban policy and environmental justice in New York City.
