TAMPA (TIP): The Florida Legislature has passed a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport as “President Donald J. Trump International Airport.”
The bill, which the House passed Tuesday, February 17, and the Senate passed today, now heads to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ desk.
The legislation states that the name change is subject to approval by the Federal Aviation Administration. It also outlines the need for an agreement between the trademark holder authorizing commercial use of the new name by Palm Beach County.
The proposed change to the airport minutes from Mar-a-Lago comes after the Trump administration allegedly asked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to support renaming Penn Station in New York and Dulles International Airport in Virginia to clear funding for the Gateway Tunnel Project, which would link New York City and New Jersey. Trump denied that the push was his idea, writing on social media this week that the renaming “was brought up by certain politicians and construction union heads, not me.”
