California’s $128 billion high-speed rail plan is in default, according to the Trump administration

California voters approved plans to build a high-speed rail line connecting Los Angeles to San Francisco in 2008 .

The project was a major investment from the state and federal government.

Since then, the estimated cost for the project has skyrocketed and the initial goal for the 500-mile stretch has shrunk.

The Trump administration is threatening to pull all federal funding from the project, saying that the state has “not laid a single track”.

Newsom claims the project has made progress and remains on track to bring high-speed rail to California .

Union support for the project was a major reason Newsom flipped back to endorsing the project, according to the Times .

A CHSRA spokesperson told The Daily Wire that it “strongly disagrees with the FRA ’s conclusions, which are misguided and do not reflect the substantial progress”.
