President Donald Trump vowed to complete the long-stalled Constitution Pipeline that would transport natural gas to New York, saying it could slash energy prices in northeastern US states by as much as 70%.
“We are going to get this done, and once we start construction, we’re looking at anywhere from nine to 12 months, if you can believe it,” Trump told reporters Friday after signing an executive order on energy in the Oval Office. “It will bring down the energy prices in New York and in all of New England by 50, 60, 70%.”
