The New York Times reported the letter amid months of coverage that President Donald Trump has tied federal support to a Penn Station rename carrying his name. In February, NBC News reported he allegedly gave lawmakers an ultimatum tied to the Gateway Tunnel project connecting New York and New Jersey. The station handles about 600,000 travelers daily and sits within a $16.1 billion tunnel program that gained $6.9 billion in 2024. Rep. Jerry Nadler publicly opposed the idea. No official name change has been announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told Senate committees in a July 23 letter that renaming New York City&#8217;s Penn&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":966973,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5672,5229,21813,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,101775,5005,16567,388436,388437,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-966972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-administration","tag-america","tag-jerry-nadler","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkcity","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-penn-station","tag-president-donald-trump","tag-sean-duffy","tag-senate-committees","tag-underscoring","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/966972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=966972"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/966972\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/966973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=966972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=966972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=966972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
