Miami — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill on Monday to rename Palm Beach International Airport the President Donald J. Trump International Airport, and President Trump posted digital renderings the same day for a proposed Miami skyscraper to house his presidential library. The renaming is set to take effect July 1, though the Federal Aviation Administration said it does not approve name changes; the library designs, credited to Bermello Ajamil, follow a gift of nearly three acres from Miami Dade College and a website opened to solicit donations this week.
