距离唐纳德·特朗普总统海湖庄园俱乐部最近的机场可能很快将以他的名字命名,佛罗里达州议会两院已通过一项法案,将西棕榈滩的棕榈滩国际机场以其名字命名。

近几个月来,特朗普的名字已被用于多件基础设施上,从华盛顿的”特朗普-肯尼迪中心”到佛罗里达州和俄克拉荷马州的唐纳德·J·特朗普高速公路。

北卡罗来纳州共和党众议员艾迪生·麦克道尔也提出了一项法案,要求将弗吉尼亚州华盛顿地区机场的前国务卿约翰·福斯特·杜勒斯的名字移除,旨在让美国首都由特朗普和里根服务。

参议院法案706——由共和党全国委员会主席、莱克兰州参议员乔·格鲁特斯和布雷瓦德州参议员黛比·梅菲尔德共同发起——在参议院通过,并与众议院法案919配对,该法案由棕榈滩花园州众议员梅格·温伯格主持,其选区包括该机场。众议院法案于周五早些时候通过。

该法案文本修改了一项现有法律,该法律编纂了几个佛罗里达机场的名称,包括迈阿密国际机场和杰克逊维尔国际机场,增加了将西棕榈滩机场”目前称为棕榈滩国际机场”的语言,改为”唐纳德·J·特朗普总统国际机场”。

该法案还为棕榈滩县提供了品牌重塑工作的资金。

更名仍需联邦航空管理局(FAA)和州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯的批准。

德桑蒂斯的女发言人表示,州长尚未收到该法案,但”一旦送达他的办公室,他将以最终形式审查它”。

佛罗里达州民主党人警告称,品牌重塑成本估计为500万美元,以及特朗普家族可能获得的任何附带利润。

据《佛罗里达人报》报道,民主党人还表示,任何考虑都应等到2029年,届时现任总统卸任。

代表包括该机场在内的佛罗里达州选区的民主党众议员洛伊丝·弗兰克尔(Lois Frankel)批评了这一提议。

“这是误导性和不公平的,共和党控制的佛罗里达州议会不顾棕榈滩县居民的声音,推动一项将棕榈滩国际机场更名的法案,却没有给该县居民真正的机会发表意见,”弗兰克尔在一份声明中说。

她重申了对以在任总统名字命名机场的担忧。

“决策……应该等到受尊敬者的任期结束后再做,”弗兰克尔说。”并且应该包括受影响最直接的当地居民和社区的有意义的意见。”

白宫通信主任史蒂文·张表示,这个名字”听起来很棒”。

‘President Donald J. Trump International Airport’ poised to come to Palm Beach under new bill

The airport closest to President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club may soon bear his name after both chambers of the Florida Legislature passed a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach in his honor.

Trump’s name has been affixed to multiple pieces of infrastructure in recent months, from the “Trump-Kennedy Center” in Washington to Donald J. Trump highways in Florida and Oklahoma.

Rep. Addison McDowell, R-N.C., has also introduced a bill to strip former Secretary of State John Foster Dulles’ name from the Washington-area airport in Virginia, aiming to have the nation’s capital served by Trump and Reagan.

Senate Bill 706 — sponsored by RNC Chairman and state Sen. Joe Gruters of Lakeland and state Sen. Debbie Mayfield, R-Brevard — passed the upper chamber and was paired with House Bill 919, sponsored by state Rep. Meg Weinberger, R-Palm Beach Gardens, whose district includes the airport. The House measure passed earlier Friday.

The text of the bill amends an existing law codifying the names of several Florida airports, including Miami International Airport and Jacksonville International Airport, to add language designating that the airport in West Palm Beach “currently known as the Palm Beach International Airport shall be renamed the President Donald J. Trump International Airport.”

The bill also grants Palm Beach County funding for the rebranding effort.

The renaming still requires approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Gov. Ron DeSantis.

A DeSantis spokeswoman said the governor has not yet received the bill, but “once it is delivered to his office, he will review it in its final form.”

Fox News Digital also reached out to a representative for Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy for comment.

Florida Democrats warned about the estimated $5 million in rebranding costs and any incidental profits that could be made by the Trump family.

Democrats also said any consideration should wait until 2029, when the current president is out of office, according to The Floridian Press.

Rep. Lois Frankel, D-Fla., whose district includes the airport and for whom Trump is a constituent, criticized the proposal.

“It’s misguided and unfair that the Republican-controlled Florida Legislature ignored the voices of Palm Beach County by pushing forward a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport without giving County residents a real opportunity for input,” Frankel said in a statement.

She echoed concerns about renaming an airport after a sitting president.

“Decisions… should wait until after an honoree’s service has concluded,” Frankel said. “And [they] should include meaningful input from the local residents and communities most directly affected.”

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung said the name “has a great ring to it.”
