The Trump administration has withdrawn funding for a Maryland offshore wind project.

In a statement Friday , the U.S. Department of Transportation said Secretary Sean Duffy terminated and withdrew $679 million from what the department called "doomed" offshore wind projects across the country.

Among the funding withdrawn was $47 million for the Sparrows Point Steel Marshalling Port Project, a plan to build a facility that would support U.S. Wind's Momentum Wind project.

The offshore wind project would include building 114 wind turbines off the coast of Ocean City that can generate up to two gigawatts of offshore wind energy. The project would be able to power up to 718,000 homes in the region. It was the 10th commercial-scale wind project to be approved in the U.S.
