The Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT), Sean Duffy, announced on Tuesday that a federal subsidy of $ 150 million had been completed to build a new entrance and road port for the California border of San Diego-Baja.
As part of the agreement for the subsidy, the green requirements of the New Deal of the Biden Administration will be eliminated, including a collection arrangement of zero emission vehicles.
The DOT described the requirements a waste of taxpayers’ funds, which take away the mission of customs and border protections (CBP) of the United States towards national security.
