SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The Trump administration has given California permission to oversee federal environmental reviews for its high-speed rail project.
It comes as the administration is simultaneously trying to cancel a nearly $1 billion federal grant for the project. California won about $3.5 billion in federal help during the Obama administration to build the first phase of a high-speed rail line connecting San Francisco and Los Angeles.
