President Donald Trump expects to release on Monday his long-awaited plan to generate at least $1.5 trillion to upgrade U.S. roads, bridges, airports and other public works, according to a White House official.
The White House plans to release about 30 to 40 pages of principles to kick off the process for producing legislation. The release will outline Trump’s strategy to generate new investment, streamline the project review and permitting process to two years or less and provide funding for projects in rural areas, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss policy that hasn’t been publicly announced.
