In a significant development for Missouri, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) announced that Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright has pledged to halt the Grain Belt Express project. This decision follows persistent efforts by Senator Hawley to stop the $4.9 billion in federal loan guarantees for the initiative.
Senator Hawley expressed his satisfaction on social media, stating, "Had a great conversation today with @realDonaldTrump and Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Wright said he will be putting a stop to the Grain Belt Express green scam. It’s costing taxpayers BILLIONS! Thank you, President Trump."
The senator had recently addressed a letter to Secretary Wright, urging him to end the financial support for the project.
