Republicans Signal Delay until 2018 of Trump’s Shrinking Infrastructure Plan

Writing a replacement for that court-challenged order have consumed Trump-staff capacity, contributing to the administration signaling delay until 2018 of fleshing out its swiftly shrinking infrastructure promises. The lure of using the spending bill against Congressional Democrats in the mid-term elections is also likely to be playing a role. Construction stocks such as Caterpillar, U.S. Steel and Martin Marietta took a hit on the news.
