President Donald Trump’s administration has rebranded the U.S. Institute of Peace to include his own name — after seizing control of the agency and slashing its funding.
On Wednesday, the State Department announced that the institute, a non-profit independent think tank, had been renamed the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace in order “to reflect
the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history.”
Photos taken of the building, located a stone’s throw from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., show the president’s name placed prominently above the entrance.
“President Trump will be remembered by history as
the President of Peace,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote in a post on X. “It's time our State Department display that.”
