Trump ties Gateway tunnel funding to renaming Penn Station and Dulles after him
TL;DR
Trump offered to unfreeze more than $16 billion for the Gateway tunnel if Chuck Schumer agreed to rename Penn Station and Washington’s Dulles International Airport after him; Schumer rejected the demand, saying he could not deliver such a renaming. The funding remains blocked, New York and New Jersey are suing the administration over the freeze, and congressional renaming efforts have little momentum.
