Governor Newsom responds to Trump’s latest gift to China: Defunding America’s only high-speed rail
What you need to know: With the Trump administration illegally terminating grant agreements funding California high-speed rail, Governor Newsom said the state is “putting all options on the table” to fight Trump’s action.
SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom issued the following statement today in response to the Trump administration illegally terminating federal grant agreements funding California high-speed rail. This comes as the project enters the track laying phase, is actively building across 171 miles, has built more than 50 major railway structures – including bridges, overpasses, and viaducts – and completed over 60 miles of guideway.
Trump wants to hand China the future and abandon the Central Valley. We won’t let him. With projects like the Texas high-speed rail failing to take off, we are miles ahead of others. We’re now in the track-laying phase and building America’s only high-speed rail. California is putting all options on the table to fight this illegal action.

Trump, Newsom tangle on newest battlefront: California's high-speed train
California's long-delayed high-speed rail project has become the latest victim in the ongoing battle between President Donald Trump and Gov. Gavin Newsom, as White House officials again seek to cancel billions in federal funding.
The state-backed high speed rail project aims to link San Francisco and Los Angeles with a 200 mph train that will eventually run 800 miles around California. But the project's price tag has ballooned over the years from $33 billion to $135 billion, according to federal Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
In a July 16 social media post, Trump called the project a "boondoggle" that should have never been started in the first place. The pending federal contribution is $4 billion.
