Trump than U.S dollar bills bearing his signature, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the semiquincentennial,\u201d Bessent wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditionally US paper currency contains the signature of the treasury secretary and the US treasurer, not the president.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump, a former New York businessman, has been eager to put his stamp \u2014 and his name \u2014 on institutions throughout Washington and the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The administration added Trump\u2019s name to the US Institute of Peace last year, as well as to the board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which he took over at the start of his second term. A judge later ruled that his name be taken down from the arts complex. Palm Beach International Airport in Florida is also being renamed for the president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex flex-col layout-gap-md\">\n<div class=\"not-prose empty:contents [:has(*[data-empty=true])]:hidden clear-both\">\n<div class=\"typography-level-4 mt-4 font-graphik-compact [&amp;_*_a]:hover:underline\" data-cy=\"subscriptionPlea\"><span class=\"description-parser contents\" data-cy=\"description\"><strong>Subscribe to\u00a0Fortune Gulf Brief<\/strong>.
