Reportedly, Trump proposed unfreezing infrastructure funds in exchange for renaming Penn Station and Washington’s Dulles International Airport after him.

New reports reveal a controversial exchange between Donald Trump and Chuck Schumer concerning New York’s Penn Station and Washington’s Dulles International Airport.

Trump reportedly offered to release $16 billion in federal funding for the Gateway Project, a crucial rail tunnel initiative, in exchange for renaming the transportation hubs after him.

Sources indicate the proposal was directly discussed between Trump and Schumer, with Schumer rejecting the idea and emphasizing he lacks authority over naming such facilities.

The suggestion has sparked criticism from Democratic lawmakers and local officials who view using infrastructure funding for personal recognition as inappropriate.

The White House has not officially confirmed the conversation details, and Trump has not publicly addressed the reported proposal.

Amidst ongoing tensions between the administration and Democratic leadership, the stalled Gateway Project awaits progress while commuters seek resolution.
