US EditionTrump slams Moore, says he might ‘have to rethink’ money given for Baltimore’s Key Bridge
President Trump threatens to withdraw $1.9 billion federal funding for Baltimore's Key Bridge rebuild, risking delays that could impact 20,000 jobs and vital trade at the Port of Baltimore, officials say.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump threatened to reconsider federal funding for the Francis Scott Key Bridge rebuild after Congress approved the funds last year amid a feud with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore over Baltimore crime rates.
- The spat began as a war of words over Baltimore crime, as Maryland Gov. Wes Moore invited Trump to the Safety Walk in September and Trump declined, tweeting, `As President, I would much prefer that he clean up this crime disaster before I go there for a walk.`
- Reconstruction is already underway on the $1.9 billion Francis Scott Key Bridge, funded by Congress and signed by former President Joe Biden last year, supporting Port of Baltimore's 20,000 jobs and over 900 businesses.
- A spokesperson for Gov. Wes Moore said threats to funding will cause irrevocable damage to Maryland's economy, potentially derailing projects affecting businesses, labor unions, and federal agencies, while Political Analyst John Dedie warned Marylanders could ultimately pay the price.
- Without federal support, construction timelines could slip past the 2028 target, disrupting Port of Baltimore trade that handles nearly 5% of U.S. imports and complicating the crime narrative amid FBI statistics of falling violence.
