The Trump administration has broken ground on a controversial new pipeline that will carry natural gas from Pennsylvania through New Jersey, a major milestone in a project that was part of a deal reached by New York to prevent President Donald Trump from halting the construction of wind turbines.

In Brooklyn on Tuesday, Cabinet officials announced the start of construction on the Northeast Supply Enhancement Project. The project will expand the 10,000-mile transcontinental system with a new 25-mile natural gas pipeline running underwater into New York from New Jersey.
