What are the immediate consequences of the Trump administration's threat to withhold funding for California's high-speed rail project?

California's high-speed rail project, initially planned for completion in 2020 at a cost of $30 billion, is now significantly delayed and over budget. The current focus is on a 171-mile section, projected to cost over $35 billion and finish in 2033. The Trump administration is investigating the project and threatens to withhold $4 billion in federal grants.
