Trump’s rebranding of Palm Beach airport hasn’t taken off as he planned
The News
Donald Trump's plan to rename and renovate Palm Beach International Airport has stalled due to funding withheld by state and local authorities. The airport has been rebranded as President Donald J Trump International Airport with new highway signs and a website, but interior changes have not yet occurred. The airport is located less than five miles from Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. The delays highlight tensions between Trump's grand ambitions and governmental approval processes.
