President Trump declared that the federal government would not provide financial support for California's high-speed rail project, raising concerns over its viability. Initially estimated at $33 billion, costs have surged to $128 billion, with only limited construction completed. A federal compliance review is underway, and past cancellations of funding have created instability. President Bidenâs recent allocation of $3 billion contrasts with Trumpâs previous cuts. Political shifts and funding issues continue to hinder the project's progress, with significant completion delays anticipated.
This government is not going to pay. The California High-Speed Rail project, which was projected to cost $33 billion, has ballooned to an estimated $128 billion.
The project has long been subject to shifting political priorities, highlighted by President Trump cancelling nearly $1 billion in federal funding during his first term.
