On July 10, 2026, Palm Beach International Airport in Florida was officially renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport. The renaming follows a bill signed into law by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in March. Airport officials announced the change and noted that the transformation will cost at least $5.5 million, covering updates to signage, branding, and other materials over the coming weeks. The airport’s website indicated that travelers will see a mix of the classic and new branding during the transition period.
On the same day, a bridge along Interstate 40 in East Tennessee, located in Jefferson County near Dandridge, was renamed the President Donald J. Trump Bridge. Officials unveiled signage to honor the former president, recognizing his efforts on behalf of the people who travel the bridge. A local official, Bessent, stated, “From this day forward, every driver that encounters this bridge will see that it bears his name, because he has never stopped fighting for the people who travel on it because he has made their cause his own.”
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office approved the Trump family’s request to trademark the new airport name on June 18, 2026. These namings reflect a broader pattern of the former president’s name being attached to various public infrastructure and programs.
