Trump to take control of Washington, DC’s Union Station

The Trump administration is taking control of Union Station — Washington, DC’s main train station. In its latest move exerting power over the nation’s capital, the administration is taking away management of Union Station from Amtrak. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Union Station had “fallen into disrepair” when it should be a “point of pride” for the city. President Trump, who has deployed National Guard troops to patrol DC streets, has also said he wants to beautify the District of Columbia and will be seeking two billion dollars from Congress.
