Trump proposes funding for New York tunnel project in exchange for naming rights

Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

US President Donald Trump has made a proposal to Senator Chuck Schumer, requesting that funding for a New York tunnel project be secured if certain conditions are met. According to reports, one of these conditions is that Penn Station and Dulles Airport be renamed after him.

The proposal was first reported by CNN, which stated that Trump had demanded the renaming as a condition of releasing federal funds for the tunnel project. Axios also reported on the story, citing sources who claimed that Trump had made the request to Schumer.

Politico confirmed the reports, stating that Trump had wanted Dulles Airport and Penn Station named after him in exchange for securing funding for the tunnel project. The proposal was also covered by Gothamist and NBC News, which reported that Trump had made a similar demand to Schumer.

The New York tunnel project is one of the largest construction jobs in the US, with an estimated cost of over $20 billion. However, due to Trump’s request, the project has been put on hold as federal funding for the tunnels was recently defunded by the administration.

It is worth noting that Schumer has not yet responded to Trump’s proposal, and it remains unclear whether he will accept or reject the condition.
