President Trump proposed to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that he would release $16 billion in funding for the Hudson Tunnel Project, which connects New York and New Jersey, if Schumer agreed to rename Penn Station and Dulles Airport after him.

Neither the White House nor Schumer’s office has commented on the matter.
