Bank of America just raised its EUR/USD forecast
Investing.com -- U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy expressed confidence that the administration will successfully defend against any legal challenges to its decision to withdraw $4 billion in federal funding from California’s High-Speed Rail project.
"I wish it could have gone to California. We were supportive of the California project, but when we’re 16 years in and $15 billion without a track laid, and it’s going to cost over $130 billion and no funding pathway for it, no timeline to complete it, we have to pull the plug," Duffy told reporters outside the Department of Transportation headquarters.
The California high-speed rail initiative has faced significant delays and cost overruns since its inception. According to Duffy, despite $15 billion already spent on the project over 16 years, no tracks have been laid, and the estimated total cost has ballooned to more than $130 billion.
