On July 9, 2026, officials in Palm Beach, Florida, and Dandridge, Tennessee, unveiled new signage to commemorate former President Donald Trump. Palm Beach International Airport has been renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport following a law signed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in March. Trump announced the name change on Truth Social, expressing pride in the honor. In Tennessee, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent participated in a ceremony to rename a bridge in Jefferson County as the President Donald J. Trump Bridge, which was previously known as the Francis Burnett Swann Memorial Bridge. The airport renaming is expected to cost approximately $5.5 million, with updates to signage and branding planned over the coming weeks. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office approved the Trump family's request to trademark the new airport name in June. The airport's three-letter code will remain 'PBI' until it transitions to 'DJT' on August 18.
