Summary

Trump Airport Renaming

Palm Beach International Airport will be renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport on July 9.
Crews began replacing I-95 Exit 69B signs Thursday; airport code will switch to DJT on Aug. 18.
The renaming contract obliges the airport to buy Trump-branded merchandise only from the president’s licensor.
Attorney Josh Gerben says the clause could let Trump’s firms sell airport items for profit, while county officials claim the agreement protects them from lawsuits.

Summary

Trump Signs Agreement

President Donald Trump signed the airport-naming agreement on Sunday, per a copy reviewed by the Miami Herald.
The Miami Herald obtained the contract and published its key trademark provisions for public scrutiny.
The agreement grants Trump and his associates the authority to approve which retailers may produce Donald J. Trump International Airport-branded merchandise.
Attorneys note that this retailer-approval power is atypical for airport naming deals, which normally limit licensing to quality standards only.
