US EditionTrump on RFK Stadium Deal: 'If I Can Help Them Out, I Would'
- President Donald Trump indicated on Sunday that he could step in if the D.C. Council does not give the green light to a new $1.1 billion taxpayer-funded stadium agreement for the Washington Commanders on the federally owned RFK site.
- The agreement, reached between the city’s leadership and the team’s principal owner, is facing pushback from council members who want additional time to examine economic reports due to concerns about the project’s schedule and expenses.
- The Commanders want council action by July 15 to stay on track for a 65,000-seat stadium completion by the 2030 season, warning delays could affect hosting 2031 FIFA Women's World Cup matches.
- A Washington Post-Schar School survey of 651 residents showed 55% in favor of the stadium plan and 39% opposed, while Chairman Phil Mendelson indicated that the scheduled completion date is unlikely to be achieved.
- Federal government control of the RFK site adds complexity, and Trump's comments, described by experts as pressure to expedite, increase political stakes as hearings are scheduled for late July.
