The Federal Aviation Administration says Palm Beach International Airport in Florida will be officially renamed after US President Donald Trump effective July 9, the latest in a series of buildings, institutions, government programs, warships and money to bear his name.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said earlier the airport’s three-letter code will be changed from PBI to DJT, denoting Trump’s initials.
