U.S. President Donald Trump announced the cancellation of funding for California’s High-Speed Rail project, citing delays and affordability issues, according to a late July 16 Truth Social post.
“To the Law abiding, Tax paying, Hardworking Citizens of the United States of America, I am thrilled to announce that I have officially freed you from funding California’s disastrously overpriced, ‘HIGH SPEED TRAIN TO NOWHERE,’” Trump said.
