State Department Confirms Renaming Of United States Institute Of Peace HeadquartersIn a post on X, the State Department confirmed earlier reports that President Donald Trump's name had been added to the side of the building that houses the United States Institute of Peace. A description on the government's USIP website describes the headquarters as "the nation’s independent, nonpartisan institute that supports the Executive Branch in resolving violent conflict abroad."Later this week Trump is expected to host leaders from Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo at the site to sign a peace agreement. This morning, the State Department renamed the former Institute of Peace to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history.Welcome to the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.
