  • The Palm Beach county commission approved the deal with a bipartisan vote.
  • The agreement gives Trump’s company, DTTM Operations LLC, exclusive control over the airport’s branding and merchandise rights.
  • Trump cannot receive direct payment from goods sold at the airport but can earn profits from merchandise sold elsewhere, including online.
  • Trump has final approval on how his name and image are used at the airport.
