President Trump plans to unveil a substantial infrastructure initiative on his first full day in office, a pledge he made during his 2016 campaign. This comes after his predecessor, Joe Biden, signed a $1 trillion infrastructure bill in 2021.
President Donald Trump is set to unveil a substantial new infrastructure plan on his first full day in office, according to hints from the White House on Tuesday. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt provided a sneak peek during an interview on 'FOX & Friends,' revealing that Trump will host an event at 4 p.m. to elaborate on the initiative.
Leavitt emphasized that this infrastructure push is unrelated to the ongoing wildfires in California, as Trump has already issued executive orders addressing that crisis.Trump's commitment to infrastructure reform dates back to his 2016 presidential campaign, where he pledged to enact a $1 trillion infrastructure bill through Congress. While he frequently championed the idea during his first term from 2017 to 2021, it ultimately failed to materialize. His successor, Joe Biden, a Democrat, successfully negotiated and signed a $1 trillion infrastructure bill into law in 2021. This bipartisan effort secured funding for thousands of projects aimed at revitalizing roads and bridges, bolstering climate resilience, and expanding broadband access.However, the second Trump administration and the newly elected Congress have the opportunity to influence the implementation of Biden's infrastructure law. Agency officials will be able to allocate tens of billions of dollars in remaining competitive grants, as highlighted by the Brookings Institution in a November blog post. Meanwhile, Trump has been actively shaping his administration's agenda through a series of executive orders since his inauguration on Monday. These orders span a range of issues, from immigration reform to withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization. During his inauguration address, Trump declared his intention to 'sign a series of historic executive orders' that will 'begin the complete restoration of America and the revolution of commonsense.
