Background
Like other presidential libraries, a building for Trump would need to be privately financed and organized before the possible involvement of the NARA.[2] During Trump's presidency, it had been rumored that floors in Trump Tower may be dedicated for use to a future presidential library. The Washington Post reported that Trump wanted his library to be built in Florida.[3] In March 2025, it was reported that members of Trump's team were looking for universities in Florida, namely Florida Atlantic University (FAU) and Florida International University (FIU), for a potential presidential library.[4]
In January 2025, Meta Platforms agreed to settle a lawsuit for $25 million following the suspension of Trump's Facebook accounts following the January 6 United States Capitol attack. $22 million will go toward the presidential library.[5]
Final location plans
In September 2025, President Trump announced plans for his library to be built in front of the Freedom Tower on land owned by Miami Dade College.[6][7] On September 30, the state of Florida approved to plan to have $67 million property as the site for Trump's presidential library and center.[8]
