While the state of New York would surely lover federal help in building out several infrastructure projects around New York City, a tweet from President Trump over the weekend seemed to overpromise regarding the Second Avenue Subway.
President Donald Trump sent a tweet on August 24 that said he is "looking forward" to helping New York Governor Andrew Cuomo complete the Second Avenue subway in New York City.
Looking forward to helping New York City and Governor @andrewcuomo complete the long anticipated, and partially built, Second Avenue Subway. Would be extended to East 125th Street in Harlem. Long in the making, they now have the team that can get it done!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 24, 2019
The announcement left state Governor Andrew Cuomo "baffled," according to an article published by Bloomberg two days after the tweet was made public.
The article includes statements from Governor Cuomo's communications director, Dani Lever, about the confusion in the governor's office regarding the tweet. "The president’s tweet suggests good news but we have no specific funding or approval and that is all that is relevant," Communications Director Dani Lever said in the statement. "If an agreement actually materializes, we will provide an update."
