Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation Monday that officially renames Palm Beach International Airport to President Donald J. Trump International Airport.
The move adds another major institution to a growing list of buildings, warships, government programs, and other entities bearing Trump's name. It comes as Trump plans to construct a presidential library in Miami, further cementing his presence across Florida's landscape.
The renaming represents one of the most prominent dedications to the former president since he left office. Beyond the airport, Trump's name already appears on numerous buildings, institutions, and government programs across the country. The U.S. Navy has also named a warship in his honor, and various currencies and commemorative items have been issued with his likeness.
The Palm Beach airport serves as a major transportation hub for the region, making the naming decision particularly visible. The facility handles millions of passengers annually and connects the area to domestic and international destinations.
DeSantis, who has maintained a close political alliance with Trump, has championed the measure as part of what supporters frame as honoring the former president's legacy. The governor's involvement underscores the ongoing alignment between the two Republican figures in Florida politics.
The renaming is expected to take effect following the formal transition period typically required for such administrative changes. Signage updates and official documentation will reflect the new name across airport facilities and materials.
