Trump administration cuts funding for Staten Island, offshore wind, and Rhode Island port projects

The Trump administration withdrew $48 million in federal funding for the Arthur Kill Terminal project on Staten Island, a plan aimed at supporting offshore wind development, citing a shift away from green energy initiatives. Local officials, including Staten Island's Borough President Fossella, expressed skepticism and concern over the project's future, while some efforts to support the project, like those from Rep. Malliotakis, have been halted by the funding cut.
