WASHINGTON: The Kennedy Centre on Monday dropped US President Donald Trump´s name from the website of the performing arts venue.
The building in the nation´s capital that houses the Kennedy Centre continues, however, to display Trump´s name on its facade for the time being. A federal judge ruled last month that the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts had been illegally renamed after Trump and that his name must be taken down. A furious Trump reacted by saying he was giving up control of the venue, which he seized at the start of his second term last year by naming himself chairman.
In December, the center´s governing board, which Trump stacked with his allies, voted to rename itself the “Trump Kennedy Centre” and the Republican president´s name was added to the facade in large letters above that of Kennedy.
