STATEMENT: Gottheimer Statement on New Trump Administration Threats to Gateway

NORTH JERSEY — Today, October 15, 2025, U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) released the following statement:

“President Trump is taking a sledgehammer to one of the most important infrastructure projects in the entire country. And with that, he’s taking a sledgehammer to tens of thousands of jobs, to our economy, to labor, and to American competitiveness.

I helped write, negotiate, and pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, which secured the funding for the Gateway Train Tunnel. These are dollars that will help fix tunnels people rely on to get to work that are literally crumbling — dollars already approved by Congress and signed into law.

I hope both Republicans and Democrats in New Jersey and New York stand with me in fighting back. We cannot let partisan chaos take a wrecking ball to Gateway.”
