President Donald Trump and Gov. Mikie Sherrill continue to trade barbs over the Gateway Tunnel project.
Trump called the Gateway project a "boondoggle." He posted on Truth Social on Monday that the federal government will not be responsible for any extra money.
The money for the project is moving again due to an order from a federal judge. Trump threatened the funding during the government shutdown. The administration blamed DEI initiatives.
