Trump Team Moves to Rename New York’s Penn Station

The Trump administration is prioritizing the renaming of New York Penn Station. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sent a letter to Senate committees urging Congress to direct Amtrak to change the name during the reauthorization of surface transportation funding expiring September 30. While a final name remains unconfirmed, Duffy previously suggested Trump Station. This move coincides with an $8 billion overhaul of the transit hub, with earlier redesign renderings featuring gold flourishes and the Trump name.
