Florida Republicans pass bill renaming Palm Beach airport after Trump

Democrats cry foul at change to airport closest to Mar-a-Lago days after president's lawyers trademarked new name

Democrats in Florida have condemned Republican colleagues in the state legislature who approved the renaming of the airport in West Palm Beach the President Donald J Trump International Airport", less than a week after lawyers for Trump sought to trademark the name.

Only the signature of Florida's Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, now stands before a renaming ceremony at the airport less than six miles from the US president's waterfront Mar-a-Lago mansion and private resort club in Palm Beach.
