- President Donald Trump unveiled a $22.5 billion renovation plan for Washington Dulles International Airport, aiming to eliminate the long-standing and often-criticized "people movers."
- The proposed overhaul includes a new U-shaped passenger train, a central walking tunnel, additional moving walkways and an above-ground parking garage for 32,000 vehicles.
- Trump criticized Dulles as "the worst airport" due to "crazy distances" and stated the transformation is part of ongoing efforts to make Washington, D.C., "safe and beautiful again."

- This ambitious airport renovation is one of several large-scale projects Trump is pursuing to leave a significant mark on the Washington region.
