Senators Andy Kim and Cory Booker Joint Statement Condemning Trump’s Termination of Gateway Tunnel Project Funding

WASHINGTON, D.C.– Today, New Jersey Senators Andy Kim and Cory Booker released the following statement condemning President Trump for terminating congressionally approved funding for the critical Gateway Tunnel Project:
“Threatening to cut funding for Gateway is a direct attack on New Jersey by the Trump Administration. It sends a clear signal that President Trump is more focused on punishing perceived enemies than serving the American people or delivering for New Jersey families. This isn’t a Democratic project. It’s a project that has had broad bipartisan support, including from his own Secretary of Transportation, who called it, ‘“important’” just days ago. We will fight to keep this funding, we will fight to keep the thousands of union jobs it supports, and we will fight to ensure that the better future that Gateway promises for our entire region ensures is fully realized.”
