An airport in the US state of Florida is set to be renamed in honour of President Donald Trump after the state legislature passed a bill approving the change.
The Republican-controlled legislature voted to redesignate Palm Beach International Airport as the “President Donald J. Trump International Airport,” according to official state records.
The measure now awaits the signature of Governor Ron DeSantis, who is widely expected to sign it into law.
Located in the affluent community of Palm Beach, the airport sits just minutes from Trump’s private residence, Mar-a-Lago.
The renaming, however, is not yet final.
Approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will also be required before the change can formally take effect.
If completed, the move would add the airport to a growing list of institutions bearing the president’s name.
In December, the board overseeing the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts voted to adopt the name “Trump-Kennedy Center,” following changes initiated by a board aligned with the president.
Media reports have also indicated that Trump previously explored renaming Penn Station in New York and Washington Dulles International Airport after himself, though those proposals did not advance.
Separately, the US Treasury Department has acknowledged that draft designs have been prepared for a commemorative $1 coin featuring Trump’s image, despite longstanding federal rules prohibiting the depiction of a sitting or living president on US currency.
The latest development underscores ongoing efforts to cement Trump’s legacy through high-profile naming initiatives across the country.
