Trump paused $11B in infrastructure projects, targeting Democratic cities, citing shutdown leverage.
The Trump administration has paused over $11 billion in infrastructure projects, including major transit initiatives in New York, San Francisco, Boston, and Baltimore, citing low priority and using the ongoing government shutdown as leverage to pressure Congress.
White House budget director Russell Vought announced the freeze, targeting projects in Democratic-leaning states and cities, while also halting $18 billion in infrastructure funding and canceling $8 billion in climate-related projects.
The move, which includes a regulatory review of subcontracting rules, has stalled work on the Gateway tunnel and Second Avenue Subway extension, raising concerns about long-term impacts on national infrastructure.
The Army Corps of Engineers did not comment.
