"Trump To Sign Executive Order Tuesday On Infrastructure Projects"

"WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Tuesday 'establishing discipline and accountability in the environmental review and permitting process for infrastructure projects,' the White House said in a statement on Monday.

Trump, who is visiting his residence at Trump Tower in New York City, will also participate in a discussion on infrastructure and give a statement on the subject at 3:45 p.m. The White House did not give additional details on the executive order.

Trump, who was a real estate developer before becoming president, made rebuilding the country's crumbling infrastructure a top campaign issue. "
