Kennedy Center Shut After Judge Blocks Trump Name
–
Neutral summary
The Trump-appointed board of the Kennedy Center voted to close the building for renovations hours after a federal judge ruled that President Donald Trump's name cannot be added to the facade without congressional approval. Trump said the $257 million in repairs will not proceed until the courts allow the venue to be renamed, threatening to keep it shut indefinitely. Fencing was erected around the main entrance, and Rep. Joyce Beatty filed an emergency request calling the closure 'unlawful'.
