What happened
President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to demolish or close the Kennedy Center unless his name is added to the building. In response to structural deterioration risks, the Kennedy Center temporarily closed the performing arts center. Separately, the House of Representatives voted to approve a measure requiring Donald Trump to end his war with Iran.
