Trump Administration Seeks to Redirect Billions Stolen from California High-Speed Rail Project

The Trump administration has proposed redistributing $2.4 billion from California's high-speed rail project as part of a new $5 billion program aimed at boosting passenger rail service in the US, sparking controversy over the move. The funds were previously taken from the state's high-speed rail plan in 2019. Critics argue that the redistribution is an attempt to kill the high-speed rail project, which has faced significant delays and funding issues in recent years. The Trump administration's plan would instead allocate the funds to support passenger rail projects nationwide.
