Infrastructure was a major part of Trump's campaign, and he told Fox News that "nobody can build better than I can. Nobody knows construction better." The question now is, can he finagle the political side of getting that kind of spending package through the U.S. House and Senate?
AfA's executive director Brandon Fried stated that air forwarders "wholeheartedly agree with President-elect Trump’s desire to build the next generation of roads, bridges, railway, tunnels, seaports and airports."
Fried added, “We understand that President-elect Trump will have many competing objectives in the first 100 days of his administration. We firmly believe that infrastructure investment right out the gate will have the most direct impact on U.S. citizens and businesses, and will demonstrate that bipartisanship can work for all Americans.”
Functioning infrastructure is critical to aviation-related supply chains, which depend on working roads, airports and waterways to facilitate the delivery of millions of shipments every day.
