00:02Florida is moving ahead with a plan to rename Palm Beach International Airport after President
00:08Donald Trump. Governor Ron DeSantis signed the bill on Monday. The name change is set to take
00:13effect on July 1st. The FAA says airport naming is a local decision, so no federal approval is
00:20required. But officials still have to update signs, systems, and secure rights to use Trump's name.
00:26The move would put the president's name on another major landmark near Mar-a-Lago where he lives and
00:32often travels. Florida Republicans call it a tribute. Democrats call it a political stunt
00:37and are raising questions about the cost of rebranding. Trump's family business says it
00:42won't take any royalties or fees from the change. And a timing note, the renaming comes as Trump-related
00:49trademarks are filed for airport branding, including products like luggage, watches, clothing, even pet
00:56apparel.
