Traveling to the US with new passport, visa on the old one

Traveling to the US with new passport, visa on the old one - From below of aged retro golden clock placed atop information booth of historic Grand Central Terminal with arched windows

I have a valid B1/B2 US visa expiring about a year from now. The passport it's in expired a few years ago, and I recently got a new one.

The passport number does not match, but the national ID number, mentioned in both, does (it used to be the same as your national ID, but not anymore)

Can I travel to the US carrying both passports? Or is it asking for trouble? (I read a few years ago that it was possible, but that might have changed)

Should I just get a new visa to avoid potential complications?
