President Donald Trump said he “terminated” the $16 billion Gateway rail tunnel under the Hudson River in a surprise statement made during press conference Wednesday as tense negotiations over the federal government shutdown drag on.
“The project in New York — it’s billions and billions of dollars that (U.S. Sen. Chuck) Schumer (D-N.Y.) has worked 20 years to get,” Trump said, according to video of the event. “Tell him it’s terminated.”
