The decision was made as part of a broader policy to name various facilities and programs in the US after Trump. In particular, Florida previously supported the idea of locating Trump's presidential library in downtown Miami.

Before the final renaming, a request must be submitted to the US Federal Aviation Administration, which must make changes to aviation databases, navigation systems, and update airport designations.
Last week, a bill was also introduced to change the airport's three-letter code from PBI to DJT – after Donald Trump's initials.
Context of decisions using Trump's name
Recently, Trump's name has been actively used in various government initiatives. In particular, the US Treasury Department announced that his signature will appear on American banknotes starting this summer.
