President Donald Trump’s name has been added to the sign outside the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C., where he is expected to host the presidents of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo on Thursday for the signing of a U.S.-brokered peace deal, Reuters reports.
The move comes after the Trump administration’s attempted takeover of the Institute of Peace earlier this year.
When asked about the decision to emblazon the building with the president’s name, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly suggested the U.S. Institute of Peace had been renamed for the president.
“Now, the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, which is both beautifully and aptly named after a president who ended eight wars in less than a year, will stand as a powerful reminder of what strong leadership can accomplish for global stability. Congratulations, world!” she said.
