The U.S. Institute of Peace has been renamed after former President Donald Trump. The change comes during an ongoing court battle over control of the organization.
Officials also placed Trump's name on the institute's headquarters in Washington, D.C. The State Department confirmed the actions on Wednesday.
The institute is a non-profit think tank. It focuses on global conflict resolution and peace initiatives.
This year, it became an early target for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This office seeks to reorganize federal agencies.
The renaming is the latest development in a back-and-forth legal fight. The dispute centers on who has the authority to lead the institute.
