CINCINNATI, Ohio—President Donald Trump on Wednesday pushed plans for $1 trillion in infrastructure spending as he struggles to gain momentum for his economic agenda.
“America wants to build,” Trump said. “There is no limit to what we can achieve. All it takes is a bold and daring vision and the will to make it happen.”
Speaking in Cincinnati, Ohio, Trump reviewed a proposal announced earlier this year to leverage $200 billion in his budget proposal into a $1 trillion of projects to privatize the air traffic control system, strengthen rural infrastructure and repair bridges, roads and waterways.
Trump said he would not allow the United States to become a “museum of former glory.” He spoke about backing large transformative projects but did not give specifics.
“We will construct incredible new monuments to American grit that inspire wonder for generations and generations,” he said.
