TL;DR

President Trump reiterates opposition to the Hudson River Gateway rail tunnel between New York and New Jersey and threatens to withhold federal funds over projected overruns; a federal judge had allowed funds to flow again after a freeze, with New Jersey and New York lawmakers pushing to restore support and noting thousands of jobs and commuter benefits (about 1,000 layoffs occurred when work paused). He also denied reports that funding was tied to renaming Penn Station.
