WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he is ending government funding for California’s High-Speed Rail project.
The announcement follows the release of a U.S. Transportation Department report from the Federal Railroad Administration that cited missed deadlines, budget shortfalls and questionable ridership projections.
“Thanks to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, not a SINGLE penny in Federal Dollars will go towards this Newscum SCAM ever again,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.
