What happened
A report found that policies implemented during President Donald Trump’s tenure led to the cancellation or delay of 223 manufacturing, clean energy, and industrial projects. These projects, which were impacted by the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' represented at least $82.8 billion in capital investment and could cost up to 111,765 jobs. Additionally, over 3,034 sites now face tax restrictions due to these policies, putting at risk $695.2 billion in capital investment and 1,184,996 jobs.
