In a controversial move, Donald Trump has demanded that Dulles Airport and Penn Station be renamed after him as a condition for releasing federal funds for critical rail projects, including the Gateway tunnel linking New York and New Jersey. This demand has led to significant backlash from Democrats and various state officials, with New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill announcing plans to sue the Trump administration over a $16 billion funding freeze impacting the Gateway Project. With funding cut off, the NY-NJ River Tunnel Project is set to halt, jeopardizing thousands of jobs. Trump’s insistence on linking the renaming of these major transportation hubs to federal funding continues to draw ire, as many argue it represents a self-serving tactic at the expense of working-class individuals relying on the project.
