Kennedy Center to close for two years for renovations, Trump says
AI Summary
The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. will close for a two-year renovation beginning July 4th, according to an announcement made by Donald Trump on Truth Social. The closure follows the renaming of the institution to the Donald J Trump and the John F Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, a move that prompted several artists to cancel performances. Trump, who replaced board members with allies and became chairman, stated the renovations are already financed and necessary to create the "finest performing arts facility." The decision to rename the center and the planned renovations have faced criticism, including a lawsuit filed by Democratic US Representative Joyce Beatty and denouncements from some Kennedy family members, arguing that Congressional approval is needed for the name change.
