LIVE: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announcement on California's High Speed Rail project
Briefly

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is set to address California's High-Speed Rail project at a press conference in Los Angeles. The project has encountered significant issues with its funding, now estimated to cost around $100 billion—much higher than the initial $33 billion forecast. President Trump has criticized the project as poorly managed and intends to investigate further. Despite these challenges, high-speed rail authorities claim it has generated 14,000 jobs. Notably, construction has primarily occurred in the Central Valley, with a completion target by the 2028 Olympic Games in LA.
The High-Speed Rail project has faced numerous setbacks, with a funding gap of $100 billion compared to the original estimate of $33 billion.
President Trump labeled the rail project as one of the worst-managed projects he's ever seen, promising to investigate its status personally.
