The board of the Kennedy Center has voted to rename the performing arts centre after President Donald Trump and will be called the Trump-Kennedy Center, according to the White House.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on social media the board’s vote was unanimous and due to “the unbelievable work President Trump has done over the last year in saving the building”.
Leavitt also congratulated President John F. Kennedy and said “this will be a truly great team long into the future! The building will no doubt attain new levels of success and grandeur”.
The move is likley be highly controversial, particularly in Washington DC where the centre has been an iconic landmark since constructed and named for Kennedy.
