California dropped a lawsuit this week over the Trump administration‘s funding cuts for its high-speed rail project.

The state sued the administration in July after the Transportation Department cut $4 billion in funding for the project. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) called the cuts “a political stunt to punish California.”
