Washington — On March 31, 2026, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation officially designating Palm Beach International Airport as "President Donald J. Trump International Airport," a bill that state lawmakers passed to rename the facility near Trump’s Mar‑a‑Lago resort.

The change is scheduled to take effect July 1, 2026, pending completion of rights agreements and FAA administrative updates; officials and Eric Trump announced the move on social media while state budget proposals include funding for signage and rebranding.
