Kennedy Center Plans Temporary Closure After Court Blocks Trump Renaming Bid
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts plans to temporarily close its main building for renovations after its board approved the move. The decision came hours after a US federal judge stopped the board from adding President Donald Trump’s name to the centre’s facade and renaming its plaza in his honour. The judge ruled that Congress must approve changes to the federally funded memorial. The board says the centre faces urgent financial and maintenance challenges. The ruling has been appealed, and further proceedings may determine whether the closure and renovation plans can go ahead.
