Trump Kills Army Corp of Engineers Study of How to Protect NYC from Rising Seas

"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers this week stopped a multiyear study of strategies and projects meant to protect the New York City metropolitan area against catastrophic storm surges and rising seas. The decision is the latest in a series of policy moves by President Donald Trump's Republican administration—including blocking the replacement of a damaged Hudson River tunnel and suspension of New York airport "trusted traveler" applications—that local politicians contend are aimed at punishing a Democratic leaning region."
