Ron DeSantis signs bill to rename Palm Beach airport after Trump

The airport, which would be renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport, is about 5 miles from Mar-a-Lago.

President Donald Trump’s name might soon land on yet another public building.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed into law a bill passed by the Legislature that would rename Palm Beach International Airport as President Donald J. Trump International Airport.

The name change, scheduled to take effect July 1, must still be approved by the Federal Aviation Administration, according to the bill text.

The FAA said in a statement Monday that while changing an airport name is a “local issue,” it “must complete some administrative tasks to include updating navigational charts and databases.”

Palm Beach County, which runs the airport, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
