American President Donald Trump has already attached his name to multiple buildings as a businessman. Now his name is set to be associated with a Florida airport. This is because the name of Florida's Palm Beach airport is changing. The airport is set to be renamed after Trump. Florida's legislature approved this name change proposal on Thursday.
According to news agency sources, the Republican-led Florida legislature had proposed changing the name of Palm Beach International Airport. The bill related to this has been approved in the legislature.

Florida's Congress has approved a bill to rename the airport 'President Donald J. Trump International Airport'. It has been reported in the news agency's report that they expect Governor Ron DeSantis, once known as Trump's rival, to sign this bill and turn it into law.
Federal approval still required
However, changing the name of the airport would require approval from the Federal Aviation Administration.
It should be noted that Palm Beach is known for its white sand beaches and luxurious mansions. This airport is located just a few minutes away from Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.

This is not the first instance of an institution being renamed after Donald Trump. Last December, the board of Washington's Kennedy Center (the memorial complex of late President John F. Kennedy) voted in favor of renaming the center 'Trump-Kennedy Center'.
According to American media reports, Trump had previously attempted to rename New York's Penn Station and Washington's Dulles International Airport after himself. However, those efforts were unsuccessful.
