President Donald Trump posted about the newly renamed Palm Beach airport while intelligence reports indicated Iran may have plotted an assassination attempt.
President Donald Trump posted on social media Saturday morning about the recent renaming of the Palm Beach airport to "President Donald J. Trump International Airport." In the post, he expressed admiration for the location and shared a photograph of a local newspaper article covering the ceremony, which featured remarks from his son Eric Trump describing the event as a "special moment."
Earlier in the week, CNN and The Wall Street Journal reported that Israeli officials had presented the Trump administration with intelligence suggesting an Iranian plot to assassinate the president. Trump had previously warned on Friday night that a large number of missiles were prepared for potential retaliation against Iran, stating that orders had been given for a sustained military response.
The airport ceremony included the arrival of several officials and the unveiling of a new exit sign labeled "Exit 69B," which some observers noted could become a collector's item.
