Trump has named several landmarks and initiatives after himself since he returned to office.

The Trump administration asked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for the Washington region’s Dulles International Airport and New York’s Penn Station to be named after Donald Trump in exchange for releasing the federal funds required to build a long-delayed tunnel between New York and New Jersey, multiple sources told NBC News.

The administration halted funding for the $16 billion Gateway project at the start of the federal government shutdown last fall. But even though the shutdown ended in November and the full appropriations packages passed this week, the administration has yet to release the money.

The massive $16.1 billion project includes a new railway tunnel under the Hudson River that would connect New Jersey and New York. The project underwent years of delays and other problems, but it got a boost in 2024 when President Joe Biden’s administration agreed to provide an additional $6.9 billion.
