The president has cut federal funding for California’s high speed rail, calling it a “Newscum SCAM” and a “TRAIN TO NOWHERE.”

In 2023, the Biden Administration awarded California $3.1 billion in federal funds toward the high-speed rail project, which aimed to connect California, Los Angeles, and the Central Valley with 220-mile-per-hour, fully electrified trains, the California High-Speed Rail Authority announced at the time.
