WSP Global chief executive Alexandre L'Heureux has stated that the Trump administration is causing delays on significant projects within the United States. L'Heureux indicated that reviews of infrastructure and clean energy projects initiated during the Biden administration, prompted by former President Donald Trump, have slowed progress on certain contracts and impacted cash flow. He noted that few projects funded by legislative packages from Trump's predecessor were cancelled or substantially delayed. Despite these administrative slowdowns, L'Heureux affirmed that the United States continues to be a highly attractive market for pure-play engineering firms like WSP Global, offering substantial profit margins. The company reported double-digit organic growth in net revenues for the third quarter in Canada and various overseas regions. However, its US segment experienced a slower conversion rate for projects, meaning fewer awarded projects were turning into active work and revenue. ## Coverage comparison All seven reports published the core statement from WSP Global CEO Alexandre L'Heureux that the Trump administration is creating delays on major projects in the United States, while also noting his assertion that the US remains an attractive market.
