Trump admin threatens to cut millions in federal funding from 3 states over trucker English language rules

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy threatens to cut federal funding to California, Washington and New Mexico over failure to enforce English language requirements for truckers.

"This is about keeping people safe on the road. Your families, your kids, your spouses, your loved ones, your friends," Duffy said. "We all use the roadway, and we need to make sure that those who are driving big rigs — semis — can understand the road signs, that they’ve been well-trained."

Duffy referred to the deadly Aug. 12 crash involving Harjinder Singh, a 28-year-old who officials say hails from India and is in the country illegally.
