The money is meant for the Gateway project, under which a new rail tunnel will be built under the Hudson River linking New York and New Jersey.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>However, there is a catch!<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>The money would be released only if Schumer agreed to rename New York\u2019s Penn Station and Washington\u2019s Dulles Airport after Trump. Schumer rejected the offer, saying that he didn\u2019t have the power to make that happen. Now, Trump is still holding back billions of dollars. Consequently, both the states have sued the Trump administration, saying it is illegally freezing the money. How long the US administration will keep the funds frozen or whether the airports will be renamed to boost Trump\u2019s legacy, is uncertain.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Need cheaper medicines?

The law, passed earlier this year, lets private firms invest the money in the stock market, and the child can use it only at the age of 18. Families with older children may also open accounts, though they will not receive the $1,000 incentive.

The card features Trump\u2019s figure with the Statue of Liberty and a bald eagle. Talking about the move, Trump called it \u201csomewhat like a green card, but with big advantages,\u201d saying firms could \u201cgo to any school, buy a card, and keep that person in the United States.<!-- -->\u201d Successful applicants are granted permanent residence under EB-1 or EB-2 categories.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"111\"\/> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"113\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component QbQNS undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Trump card\" msid=\"128377490\" width=\"\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/imgsize-23456,msid-128377490\/trump-card.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"116\"\/>The plan, however, is now facing legal pushback. A lawsuit filed in federal district court in Washington argues the scheme creates an unlawful fast lane for wealthy foreigners while researchers and scientists wait in backlogged queues. It urged the judge to halt the programme, claiming that it puts wealth over merit and bypasses Congress.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"119\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><keyword id=\"23265337\" type=\"General\" weightage=\"20\" keywordseo=\"Trump-coin\" source=\"Orion\">Trump Coin<\/keyword><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"121\"\/>And what\u2019s a president without his own face on the currency \u2014 except it\u2019s never the living ones! Last year, the treasury department announced plans for a $1 coin bearing Trump\u2019s figure as part of the 2026 semiquincentennial celebrations. However, critics quickly questioned the move, asking whether the 1866 law, which says that only deceased individuals may appear on American money, would allow it. Early designs released by the US treasurer drew further backlash, with some accusing the administration of bending rules so Trump could effectively honour himself.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"124\"\/>In response, the treasury department said that the coin is legal under the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020. Quoting the law, officials said that the treasury secretary Scott Bessent has the authority to issue coins with designs emblematic of the anniversary. The department further added, \u201cOn this momentous anniversary, there is no profile more emblematic for the front of this coin than that of our serving President, Donald J Trump.<!-- -->\u201d <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"128\"\/> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"130\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component QbQNS undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Years between presidencies and creating a currency\" msid=\"128377450\" width=\"\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/imgsize-23456,msid-128377450\/years-between-presidencies-and-creating-a-currency.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"133\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Trump\u2019 Route for International Peace and Prosperity<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"135\"\/>Not just in America, the US President now also has an international transit corridor named after him. Under a US-brokered agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan in 2025, the proposed link was titled the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity. The White House said that the name was suggested by foreign officials and Trump praised the gesture, describing the project as part of efforts to end a long-running conflict.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"138\"\/>According to a press release by the countries, the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity into action, aims to create smooth, multi-mode transport links across Armenian territory. By connecting mainland Azerbaijan with its Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and strengthening the Trans-Caspian trade corridor, the project is also expected to bring mutual benefits by improving both international and domestic connectivity for Armenia.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"141\"\/>Donald Trump\u2019s name has appeared on landmarks well before he became the 47th US President. In December 2024, officials in the south Florida city of Hialeah added to that list by renaming a street President Donald J. Trump Avenue.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"143\"\/>\u201cAnybody that names a boulevard after me, I like,\u201d he said. Reflecting on the gesture moments later, he added: \u201cA lot of people come back from Hialeah, they say, \u2018They just named a road after you.\u2019 <!-- -->I say, \u2018That\u2019s OK.\u2019 It\u2019s a beginning, right? It\u2019s a start.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"147\"\/>From a single road to entire buildings, his name has slowly topped buildings and even currency. Still only after one year of his second term, the US President appears intent on cementing his legacy, and the roll call of landmarks carrying his name may yet grow longer before his time in office runs out.<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/us\/names-trump-donald-j-trump-us-presidents-blitz-to-stamp-his-name-on-america-and-beyond\/articleshow\/128376714.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s in a name?
