UPI: Trump directs DOT Secretary to review $4 billion commitment to California high-speed rail

The Department of Transportation said in a statement that the entire San Francisco to Los Angeles high-speed rail project was initially supposed to cost $33 billion and be finished in 2020.

But the DOT claimed just the Merced to Bakersfield segment would cost more than the original total and the latest total project cost estimate is $106 billion.

After Justin Trudeau’s announcement this week, I imagine that this will show up in Poilievre’s stump speeches this summer.
