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’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’s Republican-led legislature approved a bill to rename the Palm Beach International Airport as the “President Donald J. Trump International Airport,” 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’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’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 “Trump-Kennedy Center.”
Trump has also sought to rename New York’s Penn Station and Washington’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’s image, even though there are laws against displaying the image of a sitting or living president on money.

Pentagon identifies four US troops killed in Iran war
- The Pentagon on Tuesday identified four of six US troops killed in the Iran war after they were struck in a drone attack in Kuwait
WASHINGTON: The Pentagon on Tuesday identified four of six US troops killed in the Iran war after they were struck in a drone attack in Kuwait.
The Department of Defense said in a statement that the four service members were killed during an “unmanned aircraft system attack” in Kuwait’s Shuaiba port on Sunday.
It identified the four as Captain Cody Khork, 35, Sergeant Declan Coady, 20, Sergeant 1st Class Nicole Amor, 39, and Sergeant 1st Class Noah Tietjens, 42.
All four were “supporting Operation Epic Fury,” which the US has named its strikes against Iran, it added.
Two others who were also killed in action have not been publicly identified.
On Monday, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said a total of six US military personnel were killed since the start of the Iran war over the weekend.
“US forces recently recovered the remains of two previously unaccounted for service members from a facility that was struck during Iran’s initial attacks in the region,” CENTCOM said in a post on X.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned on Tuesday that they would unleash more intense attacks on the US and Israel as the war spread across the region.
