(CNN) — President Donald Trump told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer last month that he was finally prepared to drop his freeze on billions of dollars in funding for a major New York infrastructure project.

But there was a condition: In exchange for the money, Schumer had to agree to rename New York’s Penn Station and Washington’s Dulles International Airport after Trump.

The startling offer, which was described by two people familiar with the conversation, was swiftly rejected by Schumer, who told the president he didn’t have the power to deliver on such an unorthodox request.

In the weeks since, Trump has continued to withhold the more than $16 billion earmarked for the long-planned Gateway project connecting New York and New Jersey through a new rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River.

The two states are now suing the Trump administration over the freeze, alleging in a complaint filed earlier this week that the funding suspension is unlawful.

A spokesperson for Schumer declined to comment. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

The episode, first reported by Punchbowl, offers a fresh window into Trump’s ever-expanding effort to secure an outsized place in American history — and to do so in part by branding nearly everything around him with his own name.

Since returning to the White House, the president has introduced a slew of initiatives bearing the Trump name, including the Trump Gold Card offering a high-priced path to citizenship, the TrumpRx website offering lower-priced prescription drugs, and a new Trump-class battleship meant to solidify his era of “peace through strength” foreign policy for years to come.

Trump in recent months has set his sights on even bigger targets: Adding his name first to the US Institute of Peace and then, even more controversially, to Washington’s iconic Kennedy Center.

Still, Trump’s offer to Schumer would have represented perhaps his most audacious move yet. While some conservative lawmakers have already introduced legislation to rename Dulles as the “Donald J. Trump International Airport,” it’s so far gained little traction.

The legislation has not advanced in the GOP-led Congress, and it remains unlikely to pass.

La gran fiesta de los deportes de hielo y nieve tiene todo listo para comenzar. Es cierto que para los más ansiosos ya hay actividad deportiva desde el miércoles 4, pero Milano-Cortina 2026 comenzará oficialmente este viernes, con la tradicional ceremonia de apertura o inauguración.

Los organizadores prometen una jornada “memorable” en el estadio San Ciro, en Milán, donde destacará la participación musical de artistas como Mariah Carey, ganadora de cinco premios Grammy. El talento local estará representado por Laura Pausini, ganadora de un Globo de Oro, un premio Grammy y cinco premios Grammy Latino, y el inigualable tenor italiano Andrea Bocelli.

Además, estarán presentes artistas como el actor y productor Pierfrancesco Favino, un aficionado de la AS Roma y fiel seguidor del tenista Jannik Sinner, quien actuará acompañado del violinista Giovanni Zanon. También la actriz de cine, teatro y televisión Sabrina Impacciatore, quien ganó reconocimiento por su participación en “The White Lotus”, en un número por ahora desconocido.

Se estima que unos 1.200 artistas voluntarios participen de la apertura. Si te parecen muchos, solo piensa que para grabar la música de la ceremonia inaugural se contó con la ayuda de 500 músicos, de acuerdo con los organizadores.

Para darle la razón a la organización, ciertamente será una inauguración histórica, ya que al terminar la ceremonia se encenderán dos pebeteros distintos, uno en el emblemático monumento Arco della Pace, en Milán, y otro en la Piazza Dibona, en la otra ciudad sede, Cortina d’Ampezzo.

Se calcula que la ceremonia durará en total unas tres horas.

• 2 p.m. de Miami.
• 1 p.m. de Ciudad de México.
• 2 p.m. de Bogotá.
• 4 p.m. de Buenos Aires.
• 8 p.m. de Madrid.

Estados Unidos: NBCOlympics.com y Peacock.

México, Colombia y Argentina: Claro Sports

España: RTVE y HBO Max.

Otro punto que hace histórica a esta ceremonia es que el desfile de los atletas se llevará a cabo en cuatro sedes diferentes: el estadio de San Ciro (donde estará el espectáculo principal), Predazzo, Livigno y Cortina d’Ampezzo (donde habrá un segundo pebetero, que se suma al de Milán).

Allí se repartirán los abanderados, los atletas que tendrán el honor de portar y mostrarle al mundo entero los colores de su nación. La particularidad es que Italia, como anfitriona, tendrá un abanderado en cada sede.

Este es el listado completo de abanderados:
