President Donald Trump’s name has been added to the United States Institute of Peace building in Washington, D.C., nearly nine months after his Department of Government Efficiency seized the nonprofit and largely shuttered it.

The change coincided with Trump hosting the presidents of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo for the signing of a U.S.-brokered peace agreement on Thursday.

Building renamed

The State Department said it added Trump’s name above the U.S. Institute of Peace on the exterior to honor what it called “the greatest dealmaker in our nation’s history.” The department confirmed it authorized the name change.

“Thank you for putting a certain name on that building,” Trump said to Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the signing ceremony, calling it a “great honor.”

Controversial takeover

The renaming builds on Trump’s earlier efforts to overhaul the institute. In March, the Department of Government Efficiency fired its employees and installed its own leadership. A federal judge later ruled the move unlawful, describing it as a “gross usurpation of power.”

However, most staff left the building weeks later after an appeals court paused the ruling. Since mid-summer, the building has largely been empty, with only a small number of facilities and operations staff remaining.

Nonprofit status

The institute’s Wikipedia page was updated on Thursday to describe it as “an American institute that supports the Executive Branch.” Congress established it in 1984 as an independent nonprofit, not a federal agency, and whether Trump can fire its employees remains part of ongoing litigation.

When asked about the building’s renaming, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said the institute 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.

The claim that Trump ended eight wars this year is widely disputed. Experts say significant work remains before most of the conflicts cited by the administration can be considered resolved.
