“The White House unveiled its long-awaited infrastructure plan on Monday, fulfilling a signature campaign promise of President Donald Trump. The proposal includes $200 billion in federal infrastructure spending over a decade, which would be paid for through cuts elsewhere in the budget.

The plan includes $200 billion in federal funds that are intended to stimulate more than $1.5 trillion in spending mostly from local and state governments and private entities over a decade.

In a letter addressed to Congress at the beginning of the proposal, President Donald Trump asks lawmakers to “act soon” on a bill that would:

• Stimulate at least $1.5 trillion in new investment over the next decade;
• Shorten the approval process for projects to two years or less;
• Focus on infrastructure needs for rural areas;
• Encourage training for American workers;
• Create opportunities for state and local governments to invest in “large-scale infrastructure projects.”
