Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has cleared the way for Donald Trump's hometown airport to be named after the President.
On Monday, DeSantis signed a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport as the President Donald J. Trump International Airport.
The airport is close to Trump's Mar-a-Lago home and is the one that he uses to transit between his Palm Beach, Florida, estate and Washington, DC.
The name change is set to go into effect on July 1, 2026, pending Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval.
The airport code, currently PBI, is expected to be changed to DJT, the President's initials, once the approval is finalized.
And it could be expanded to more airports throughout the nation with a first-of-its-kind action.
DTTM Operations LLC, a holding company managed by the Trump Organization that manages Trump's intellectual property, has filed multiple trademarks for airport names using the President's likeness.
The trademarks include various things within the airports, including merchandise, shuttle names and even flight suits which may bear the Trump moniker.

Trademark attorney Josh Gerben has called the filings 'unprecedented.'
The Trump airport trademarks are a first of their kind because the President filed 'a trademark application through his private company for a name that's going to go on a public building in an honorary capacity,' Gerben told Axios.
The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) regularly examines applications and publishes oppositions.
But it could open the President up to potential litigation, as anyone wishing to file for damages could also submit a 'Notice of Opposition' within 30 days.
The Florida bill signed by DeSantis requires a legal agreement with DTTM for the use of Trump's name at no cost.
'It's only conditioned on whether or not the airport gets named and is actively using the name and whether or not there's actual merchandise being sold,' Gerben told Axios.
The Trump Organization has previously said it 'will not receive any royalty, licensing fee or financial consideration whatsoever,' from the airport trademarks.
'Palm Beach International Airport is now officially.... 'President Donald J. Trump International Airport,' Eric Trump, the President's son, posted on X. 'Proud to have played a small role in making this happen.'
The President has also mused about several other transportation landmarks being named after himself, including New York's Penn Station and Virginia's Washington Dulles International Airport.
'Chuck Schumer suggested that to me about changing the name of Penn Station to Trump Station,' Trump said earlier this year. 'Dulles Airport is really separate. Dulles Airport is really not too involved with Congress. That's a separate kind of a deal, as you know.'
Schumer, the Senate Democratic Leader, later denied Trump's claim, calling it an 'absolute lie.'
