President Donald Trump’s name has been affixed to the United States Institute of Peace building in Washington, D.C., nearly nine months after his Department of Government Efficiency seized the nonprofit organization and all but closed it.
The change came ahead of Trump hosting the presidents of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo inside the building on Thursday for the signing of a U.S.-brokered peace deal.
Trump’s State Department said it renamed the building, adding Trump’s name above U.S. Institute of Peace on the exterior, “to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation’s history,” according to a post on the department’s X account on Wednesday.
