US EditionUS Institute of Peace Renamed for Trump After His Administration Gutted It Earlier This Year
The State Department renamed the U.S. Institute of Peace to honor Trump amid a legal battle, with the institute operating in 26 conflict zones before being gutted this year.
- On Wednesday the U.S. State Department announced it renamed the United States Institute of Peace the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace and installed his name on its Washington, D.C. headquarters.
- The institute sued after Department of Government Efficiency removed staff and replaced leadership, leading former USIP leadership and staff to regain the building in ongoing federal courts and appeals.
- Timing aligned the renaming with a high-profile peace ceremony as the USIP building is slated to host Thursday's White House-brokered signing between Congo's President Felix Tshisekedi and Rwanda's President Paul Kagame, with senior African delegations expected.
- The legal fight leaves the institute's future unclear as the matter remains before federal appeals courts; George Foote said the renaming 'adds insult to injury' while Anna Kelly defended it.
- USIP was created by Congress to operate independently, but the renaming advances President Donald Trump's peacemaker branding amid the Trump administration budget proposal to eliminate USIP funding.
