华盛顿讯—— 特朗普总统周三公布了华盛顿外杜勒斯国际机场的大修和扩建计划，他在椭圆形办公室的活动中表示，美国首都应当拥有一座能让国民引以为傲的机场。
总统详细介绍了这项计划，他在坚毅桌（Resolute Desk）上摆放了模型，将对这座老化机场进行翻新并扩大其占地规模。他表示，机场将新增或翻新超过500万平方英尺的空间，替换现有的“C”和“D”航站楼，在靠近机场的区域新建一座可容纳3.2万个车位的停车场，并增设一条中央步行隧道。此外，机场将移除长期以来用于运送旅客的备受争议的移动廊车系统“旅客捷运”，取而代之的是空中列车。
“说真的，这座机场糟透了，”特朗普在评价杜勒斯机场时说道，“你下了巴士，还要去坐火车，下了火车又得换乘另一辆巴士。这是最糟糕的机场。这项计划还包括扩充停车选择、现代化的值机区域、更高效的安检通道、酒店等等，不胜枚举。”
他补充道，除了一座大型联合航空北极星休息室之外，还将新增多家餐厅和商店。
“多年来，美国一直在看着全球其他主要城市用宏伟现代的机场迎接旅客，而美国上一座大型机场还是1995年建成的丹佛机场，”特朗普说，“而且这座机场的评价也不怎么好。那都是30多年前的事了，所以我们要对杜勒斯机场进行改造，我认为这将让它成为全球顶尖，或许是全球第一的机场。”
特朗普总统对美国首都及其周边的大型建筑项目一直抱有个人兴趣。据哥伦比亚广播公司本周报道，在杜勒斯机场翻新项目中，他要求参与合同竞标设计和工程公司制作三维模型，以便他能在白宫亲自查看他们的提案。
总统周三表示，他的政府共审核了30份提案，最终敲定了这项计划。
白宫公布了该计划的效果图。交通部长肖恩·达菲表示，总统亲身参与了愿景的制定和设计的塑造。
当被问及这项庞大工程将如何筹资时，达菲表示，该项目将通过债券融资225亿美元，以杜勒斯机场为枢纽的联合航空以及其他航空公司将承担这笔费用。

特朗普总统表示，该计划“基本已筹得资金”，不过可能仍需获得国会的一些批准。
“这确实是两党都支持的项目，”特朗普说。
“无论你是共和党人还是民主党人，都不想在这座机场里受罪，因为这里实在是个糟糕的地方，”他补充道。
Trump unveils plans to overhaul Dulles International Airport outside Washington

Washington— President Trump on Wednesday unveiled his plans for an overhaul and expansion of Dulles International Airport outside Washington, saying in an Oval Office event the nation’s capital should have an airport in which citizens can take pride.
The president detailed the plans, complete with a model on the Resolute Desk, to renovate and expand the aging airport’s footprint. The airport will add or renovate more than 5 million square feet of space, replace the current “C” and “D” concourses, add a 32,000-space parking garage closer to the airport, and add a central walking tunnel, he said. It will also remove the “people movers,” a polarizing system of mobile lounges that Dulles has long used to ferry travelers around, and add an air train.
“Really, it’s an impossible airport,” the president said of Dulles. “You get off a bus, you go into a train, from the train you get onto another bus. It’s the worst airport. This plan also includes expanded options for parking, modern check-in areas, more efficient security screening, hotels, etcetera, etcetera.”
A number of new restaurants and shops will be added, in addition to a massive United Polaris lounge, he added.
“For years, the United States has watched other major cities around the globe welcome travelers with grand and modern airports, yet, the last major airport built in the United States was Denver in 1995,” the president said. “And it hasn’t gotten very great reviews. That’s more than 30 years ago, so we’re doing something with Dulles that’s going to make it I think the top, maybe the top, anywhere in the world.”
Mr. Trump has taken a personal interest in mega-construction projects in and around the nation’s capital. For the Dulles renovation, he asked the design and engineering firms competing for the contract to create three-dimensional models so he could personally view their proposals at the White House, CBS News reported this week.
The president said Wednesday his administration reviewed 30 proposals to come to this decision.
The White House posted renderings of the plans. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the president was intimately involved in casting the vision and shaping the design.
Asked how the massive undertaking would be paid for, Duffy said the project will be bonded for $22.5 billion, and United Airlines — which has a hub at Dulles — and other airlines will be paying for it.

Mr. Trump said the plan is “largely financed,” although it will probably need some approvals from Congress.
“It really is bipartisan,” Mr. Trump said.
“Whether you’re a Republican or Democrat, you don’t want to go and be subjected to this airport, because this airport is a terrible place to be,” he added.
