Trump admin. cancels nearly $1,000,000,000 in federal money for California's high-speed rail project, further throwing into question the future of the plan to connect Los Angeles and San Francisco.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Trump administration canceled nearly $1 billion Thursday in federal money for California's high-speed rail project, further throwing into question the future of the ambitious plan to connect Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The official word of the funding cancellation by the Federal Railroad Administration came several months after President Donald Trump first threatened to withdraw it. The state has only about $20 billion available for the project at this time, far short of the estimated $77 billion it would take to complete it.
Republican Assemblyman Jim Patterson, who represents Fresno and is one of the project's harshest critics, said the state is witnessing"the beginning of the end" for high-speed rail. Rail officials have said they were poised to make that deadline and that revoking the funds was premature.
