I've requested that the Boeing CEO come to D.C. as soon as possible to provide a full accounting of the steps the company is taking to address its quality and safety issues. Following that, I will visit Boeing myself to evaluate firsthand the measures being implemented to ensure its planes meet the highest safety standards.

The Panama Canal took 10 years to build.
Golden Gate Bridge: 4 years.
Hoover Dam: 5 years.
China builds high-speed rail in 2-3 years.
In @GavinNewsomโs California? Almost $16 BILLION in 16 YEARS. Not ONE track laidโjust a couple of bridges to nowhere.
California protesters are mad that Iโm calling for an investigation. Hereโs my response:

Mr. President, 5 things I did last week:
1. Terminated NYC elitist, anti-worker congestion pricing.
2. Launched an investigation into the $16 billion in taxpayer dollars wasted on a high-speed rail project that, after 17 years, has yet to lay a single mile of track.
3. Saved $10 million a year by eliminating redundant and outdated landlines.
4. Visited the Air Traffic Control Command Center in Virginia to see the critical tech upgrades we need to make our air traffic system the envy of the world.
5. Toured Burbank, California traffic control tower and heard from air traffic controllers about how to improve conditions and retain and recruit more controllers.
Looking forward to another week of fighting for Americans @USDOT!

The U.S. government takes eight, ten, or even fifteen years to upgrade its systems, and thatโs the enemy of progress.
We will collaborate with the best and brightest to bring our transportation systems and technology to the 21st century โ and we will do it quickly!

CAN YOU IMAGINE SKIPPING TRAFFIC? THEN CHECK THIS OUTโฆ
I went underground with @boringcompany to check out Nashvilleโs MUSIC CITY LOOP โ a massive 25-mile twin-tunnel system engineered to DELETE airport traffic
โ @USDOT processed approvals 6X faster than normal
โ It cost taxpayers exactly $0.00
American innovation is redefining how we move ๐บ๐ธ
