Trump Could Derail California High-Speed Rail Project, Despite Billions Spent

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : After previously clawing back funds for it, Trump now holds the keys to more money.uring the long, not-so-scenic drive between the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles on U.S. 5, evidence of the nation's costliest infrastructure project is easy to spot.
46% : "When we selected the pieces that we did for [California] grants, we did so knowing that there are other things that have to happen in the future and nothing is guaranteed other than what we've officially signed," said Buttigieg, who steps down when Trump is inaugurated again on Jan. 20.
27% : President Joe Biden early in his term restored the $929 million grant the project received during the Obama administration that Trump had canceled, and in December gave an additional $3.1 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds.
