Kennedy Center board approves Trump’s 2-year close
The Kennedy Center’s board voted Thursday to move forward with President Donald Trump’s plan to close the building for two years of renovations.
The board also voted to add Trump’s name back to the building’s facade.
A board member told PBS News Hour that the proposed renovation will include an inscription that reads, “Restored and renovated by President Donald J. Trump.”
Thursday’s decision will be subject to approval from a federal judge who has previously rejected both the addition of Trump’s name and an earlier attempt to close the venue.
