A Florida airport has been officially renamed in honor of Donald Trump, marking the first time a sitting U.S. president has had an airport bear their name. The Trump Organization has stated that Trump will not receive royalties from the renaming. However, legal experts have pointed out potential loopholes that could allow for financial benefits related to the name change.

The renaming event took place in the United States on July 9, 2026, involving the Trump Organization and the state of Florida. While the organization denies direct financial gain from the airport's new name, the possibility of indirect benefits remains a topic of discussion among legal analysts.
