President Donald Trump is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington’s NFL team if it does not restore its old name, which was considered offensive to Native Americans.

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Sunday to interfere with a deal to build a new football stadium in Washington, D.C., unless the local NFL team, now known as the Commanders, changes its name back to Redskins.

The Commanders could soon play their home games in Washington, D.C. after spending nearly three decades across the river in Landover, Maryland, as they continue to work towards constructing a new stadium in the nation's capital.
