WASHINGTON: An airport in Florida will soon be renamed after US President Donald Trump, after a bill proposing the change was approved by the state&#8217;s legislature on Thursday.
Trump, a real estate mogul who has plastered his name on buildings around the world, has sought to leave his mark on the country in an unprecedented image and building campaign.
Florida&#8217;s Republican-led legislature approved a bill to rename the Palm Beach International Airport as the &#8220;President Donald J. Trump International Airport&#8221;, state records show. Governor Ron DeSantis, once a Trump opponent, is expected to sign the measure into law.
The airport in Palm Beach, a town known for its sandy beaches and luxurious estates, is just minutes away from Trump&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago residence.
The airport renaming will also require the approval of the Federal Aviation Administration.
It would then become the latest institution to be renamed after Trump.
The president&#8217;s handpicked board of the Kennedy Center, an arts complex and memorial to late president John F. Kennedy in Washington, voted in December to rename itself the &#8220;Trump-Kennedy Center.&#8221;
Trump has also sought to rename New York&#8217;s Penn Station and Washington&#8217;s Dulles International Airport after himself, according to US media reports, although those efforts were rebuffed.
The Treasury Department has also confirmed reports that drafts have been drawn up for a commemorative $1 coin featuring Trump&#8217;s image, even though there are laws against displaying the image of a sitting or living president on money.
