Kennedy Center Reverts to Trump Name | Australia News

Trump” to the facade — despite a federal judge’s order to remove his name. This follows a messy legal battle where courts blocked the administration’s initial renaming attempt, ruling the center must stay named for JFK without congressional approval.

Joyce Beatty — who sued over the name change and closure — confirming the move, tensions are rising and another legal showdown looms.
