Trump unveils $22.5B DC airport revamp as poll shows lingering skepticism on his local projects

Trump announced a major renovation of Dulles International Airport in Virginia, a $22.5 billion plan to modernize parking, concourses, and check-in facilities and to replace the airport’s mobile lounges with a new tunnel, funded by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority and participating airlines and slated to unfold over eight to ten years. He framed it as a centerpiece of his DC-building legacy, while a CNN poll released the same day shows 58% of Americans dissatisfied or angry about his DC construction projects and 73% feel he hasn’t paid enough attention to the country’s top problems, signaling growing skepticism about his local initiatives despite the new proposal.
