President-elect Donald Trump wants to make New York City’s crumbling Penn Station and subways “beautiful” again, The Post exclusively can reveal.
Trump spoke Thursday afternoon with Gov. Kathy Hochul, who congratulated him on his stunning election victory in a conversation “focused on collaboration,” a source with knowledge of the call said.
The pair’s chat touched on the city’s deteriorating transit infrastructure, and Trump expressed interest in working together with Hochul on fixing up Penn Station and the subways, the source said.
Hochul also brought up federal support for infrastructure funding through the CHIPS and Science Act, as well as funding for the Second Avenue Subway.
The governor made a point to tell Trump that she would fight for New Yorkers on protecting abortion rights, according to the source.
The call comes just a day after Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James more or less declared war on the incoming Trump administration in a defiant press conference.
