President Trump isn't kidding around with his new threat to the NFL's Washington Commanders, the White House says.

President Donald Trump threatened to hold up the Washington Commanders’ stadium deal if the team doesn’t switch its name back to the Washington Redskins.

President Trump is demanding the Washington Commanders revert to their original name and threatening stadium plans if they don't comply.

In a letter sent to the chairman, James Comer said the committee was "disappointed to see the Council's vote on the stadium deal delayed."
