Donald Trump expresses the desire for the new stadium of the Washington Commanders team, valued at 3.7 billion dollars, to bear his name. According to sources, Trump has unofficially discussed this with the team's owners and has pressured the government authorities involved in approving the project. A White House official confirmed that Trump conveyed this desire to a member of the ownership group. Although the team has the rights to sell sponsorships, the naming of the stadium cannot be decided unilaterally, as the involvement of the National Park Service and the District of Columbia Council is necessary. Trump does not intend to buy the naming rights, but wants the stadium to be a tribute, similar to other famous arenas. This initiative coincides with the team's plans to return to the RFK stadium, where they previously played.
