The White House said Tuesday that President Donald Trump had proposed renaming two major transportation hubs after himself in a conversation with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
"It's something the president mentioned in his conversation with Chuck Schumer ," White House spokeswoman Leavitt said.
CNN reported last week that Trump told Schumer that he was finally prepared to lift the freeze on billions of dollars in funding for a major infrastructure project in New York if Schumer agreed to rename New York's Penn Station and Washington's Dulles International Airport after him.
But last week, Trump told reporters it was the New York Democrat's suggestion, an explanation Schumer quickly dismissed as an "absolute lie."
" Chuck Schumer suggested this to me about changing the name of Penn Station to Trump Station. A lot of people suggested it to me, unions, Democrats, Republicans, a lot of people. Nothing has been done about it," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
This is not Trump's first attempt to put his name on buildings or institutions. He recently proposed building a replica of the Arc de Triomphe in Washington, D.C., to be called the "Trump Arch."
