Trump Closes Kennedy Center Following Artist Boycotts

#WashingtonDC, #USA
Donald Trump announced the closure of the Kennedy Center for two years starting July 4, 2026, following widespread artist boycotts and a sharp decline in ticket sales.High-profile figures such as Philip Glass and the Washington National Opera withdrew from the venue after it was renamed the Trump-Kennedy Center under a board now led by the former president.The renovation plan coincides with other major capital projects including the construction of a $400M private ballroom at the White House and a 250-foot triumphal arch.
