President Trump Remains Committed to Moving Broadband Through Infrastructure Bill

President Donald Trump is committed to moving an infrastructure bill in 2017 despite making little legislative progress towards on other policy goals, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on July 31. “The President has been very outspoken on the need for a massive overhaul to the country’s infrastructure system,” Sanders said during a White House press briefing. “That’s certainly still a priority both legislative and in any capacity that he has the ability to carry that out.” Earlier in July President Trump signed an executive order establishing a new American Infrastructure Council, which will bring together industry leaders in a number of areas, including broadband infrastructure, to formulate policy proposals for revitalizing the nation’s infrastructure.
