‘… in honour of the 250th Anniversary of our Country’ US President Donald Trump has announced The Kennedy Center in Washington DC will close for a two-year renovation, beginning in July, reports BBC News.
BBC News writes:
Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday that the centre would close on 4 July this year ‘in honour of the 250th Anniversary of our Country’. The move follows several artists cancelling performances at the storied institution after it was recently renamed as the Trump Kennedy Center…
… The centre was named in Kennedy’s memory shortly after his assassination. Joe Kennedy III… said the venue was ‘a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law’.
